#3. Warren Gatland (with Shaun Edwards)
Should they go in the direction of Gatland, they would get a man with incredible international experience who helped change the face of Welsh rugby during his 12 years in charge of the country up to 2019. With a host of international honours to his name and an already extensive knowledge of English talent thanks to his continued involvement with the Lions, this would arguably be the most risk free option on this list.
Reports suggest France defence coach Shaun Edwards, who worked alongside Gatland with Wales and the Lions, would be part of his coaching set-up when his contract across the channel expires in 2023.
