Jo Yapp has insisted that the first British and Irish Lions women’s team will have representation from all four constituent unions after being appointed the side’s first head coach.

Former Red Roses captain and Australia head coach Yapp has been installed to oversee the inaugural tour to New Zealand next year after emerging as the outstanding candidate for the role during a “robust” interview process.
