Cant give enough congratulations to Andy, more than deserved. Irish supporter grateful for what he has done for irish rugby andnim sure he can achieve similar success with the lions! We need a man such as Andy a former lion himself and coach and cut from the lions cloth and coming from the home nations himself thats a big plus for all involved and the fans! As good a foreign coach may be he can never truly be understand what the lions actually means to an Irishman, Englishman, welshman or Scotsman! Good luck Andy 🦁🏉🏆🥳💪❤️

Jesus Christ I've never read such rubbish in my life & farrel was never a lion , yes he's turned into a quality coach but was a mediocre union player!

Agree, what a load of crap. 4 nations taking on a country that lost to Fiji doesn't deserve any hype they could just send over Scotland to do the job and save millions on wasted money and time.

A brilliant coach and man-manager. A real man of the British Isles. The Celts will warm to him as much as the English boys. Started watching him as a stand-out player for Wigan in Rugby League. Great temperament. Has never changed in that respect. Fine choice by the Lions Committee.

Just so you know he's the irish head coach. If he's a true man of the British Isles then he may leave the irish players at home as they do not represent the British Isles.

Best thing is he’ll ensure the Lions will play a magnificent, thrilling brand of rugby, something that’s been sorely missing in recent series. Aussies will be hard-pressed to counter what he delivers.
@lloydftz65 4 ай бұрын
absolutely the right man for the job..let's hope the Aussies can rebuild in time otherwise the tour could end up being a big disappointment. Beating them by 40 points a game would not be good for rugby and on current form that sort of scoreline is likely.

Where is the league hate?? Since the game turned pro union has stolen most of the top league coaches for they're defence coaches, People like farrell & shaun Edwards are loved by union folk 🤔 Weird comments in this thread
