How would England play with Warren Gatland as a head coach?

The Telegraph  

At the end of Rugby World Cup 2019, we can expect a fascinating merry-go-round of experienced Test coaches. Michael Cheika may well step away from the Wallabies set-up, even if he is not nudged in that direction. Back in April, then-RFU chief executive Steve Brown said that the New Zealander would not be “off limits”. Earlier this month, Brown’s interim successor Nigel Melville – who brought Gatland to Wasps back in 2002 – added: “I’ll speak to Warren and a number of others and then we’ll see.” Gatland celebrates his 56th birthday next September. Only he can say whether he would have the appetite for a wide scouting remit following the relentless Gallagher Premiership schedule as well as player welfare issues and club-country politics that are only becoming more complicated.
