Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has been backed by new Welsh boss Warren Gatland to coach the British and Irish Lions on their tour to Australia in 2025.
Gatland has returned to helm with Wales having previously managed the side between 2007-2019. In addition to that, Gatland coached the Lions on tours to Australia (2013), New Zealand (2017) and South Africa (2021).
Farrell took over from Joe Schmidt as Ireland boss after the 2019 World Cup. Since then, the English born manager has earned plenty of praise as Ireland have earned big scalps over New Zealand and South Africa among others in recent times.
