Andy Farrell is being strongly considered as the next head coach for the British and Irish Lions ahead of their highly anticipated 2025 tour to Australia. The current Ireland boss has impressed with his leadership, making him a top candidate for the prestigious role.
Farrell, who previously served as an assistant coach for the Lions during their 2013 and 2017 campaigns, has built a formidable reputation in international rugby. His success with Ireland, including a Grand Slam victory in 2023, has cemented his credentials.
Tom Curry's Return Adds Firepower
Meanwhile, England flanker Tom Curry is set to make his comeback after a lengthy injury layoff. The dynamic forward, who missed much of the 2023 season due to a serious hip injury, is expected to be a key figure for the Lions in Australia.
Curry's return adds depth to an already formidable Lions squad, with his physicality and work rate making him a perfect fit for the challenges of southern hemisphere rugby.
A Tough Challenge Ahead
The 2025 tour will see the Lions face a resurgent Wallabies side in what promises to be a fiercely contested series. Australia, under new leadership, will be determined to reclaim their status as a rugby powerhouse.
With Farrell at the helm and stars like Curry in the mix, the Lions will be aiming to replicate their 2013 success in Australia, when they secured a memorable series victory.
