The ticket.
British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell has named his coaching ticket for this summer’s tour of Australia.
John Dalziel (Scotland), Simon Easterby (Ireland), John Fogarty (Ireland), Andrew Goodman (Ireland), and Richard Wigglesworth (England) will all support Farrell ahead of the 1888 Cup in Dublin and on the Tour to Australia.
Farrell said:
"This is a special day for The British & Irish Lions and our five new Assistant Coaches who came together yesterday for the very first time.
"Putting together a Lions coaching team is an honour and a privilege – and the five phone calls made to this group of coaches reminds you just how special and unique it is.
"This coaching group has versatility and are interchangeable in their skillset, which is a vital asset to have on a Lions Tour.
"I think we have a fantastic mix and every one of these guys will bring their own character and personality to the team.
"A Lions Tour is all about understanding the demands that we will face on and off the pitch and a fresh perspective amongst this coaching group is something that I am really excited by.
"We now have a month and a half to come together and select players ahead of an historic squad announcement at The O2 in front of our Lions fans."
The group have started work on preparations ahead of the 1888 Cup in Dublin and the highly-anticipated the Qatar Airways British & Irish Lions Men’s Tour to Australia, 2025.
With multiple Six Nations, Champions Cups, and scores of Premiership and URC titles between them, Farrell’s new coaches all make the step up to become Lions.
