This comes ahead of the Six Nations

Andy Farrell is set to be confirmed as the new British and Irish Lions coach ahead of the Six Nations.

Warren Gatland will not be continuing in the role and he has backed Ireland head coach Farrell as the right man to take over.

Former World Player of the Year Keith Wood says it would be a good idea for La Rochelle coach Ronan O'Gara to assist Farrell in Australia in 2025.
