Andy Irvine is remaining coy on speculation linking with the role of British & Irish Lions team manager for the 2013 tour of Australia.
It has been widely rumoured that Irivine, who is currently the chairman of the Lions committee, will imminently be confirmed as Gerald Davies' successor in the position. However, the former tourist insists that nothing has been decided as of yet.
"It is a possibility but early days yet," he is quoted as saying by The Scotsman. When pressed on the reports that the job is there for him if he wants it, he replied: "It is just somebody putting two and two together and they might get four or they might get seven. We've (the Lions committee) not even had our first meeting of the season yet."
A pacy goal-kicking fullback, Andy Irvine earned 51 caps for Scotland during a stellar international career in which he toured three times with the Lions, to South Africa in 1974 and 1980, and New Zealand in 1977.
