The Wales boss has backed Andy Farrell to succeed him as British & Irish LIons head coach for the 2025 tour of Australia
Gatland ruled himself out of the running for the 2025 tour of Australia after overseeing the last three tours and recently becoming Wales boss for the second time.
“But I think it is the opportunity now for someone else to be head coach and Andy Farrell would have my backing for the job. Gatland led the Lions to a 2-1 win in Australia in 2013, a drawn series in New Zealand in 2017 and a 2-1 defeat in South Africa in 2021.The Englishman’s stock has risen significantly over the past couple of years, despite Ireland suffering a quarter-final exit at the Rugby World Cup to New Zealand earlier this month.
