LONDON (Reuters) - Wales coach Warren Gatland would probably be the best person to coach the British and Irish Lions on their tour of New Zealand next year, according to former Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll.

New Zealander Gatland controversially dropped O'Driscoll for the final test when he led the Lions to a series victory over Australia in 2013, preferring instead to use an all-Welsh combination of Jamie Roberts and Jonathan Davies in the centres.
