Owen Farrell's dad, Andy Farrell, has been appointed as the head coach for the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia in 2025. Currently the coach of the Irish national team, Farrell has previously served as an assistant on two Lions tours. He first worked alongside Warren Gatland for the 2013 tour of Australia, which resulted in a Lions victory. He then joined Gatland again for the 2017 tour of New Zealand, which ended in a tie. Farrell will now be aiming for success Down Under as he takes charge of the Lions.

Building a Winning Team for Success

In a statement, Farrell expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, calling it an "honour and a privilege." He acknowledged the abundance of talent across Britain and Ireland and said he looks forward to assembling a team that can achieve success in Australia. Farrell also emphasized the importance of connecting with and mobilizing the passionate British and Irish Lions fan base, stating that it will be crucial to the team's success.

A Proven Track Record

Farrell is no stranger to winning. During his tenure as the coach of Ireland, he led the team to the top of the world rankings and secured a Grand Slam victory in the Six Nations. He also guided Ireland to a historic test series win in New Zealand. With his experience and success, Lions fans have high hopes for the 2025 tour.

Owen Farrell's Potential Inclusion

Owen Farrell, the star player for England and Saracens, could potentially be a part of his father's Lions squad in 2025. At 32 years old, Farrell continues to excel at the highest level of rugby. His versatility as a fly-half or centre could be a valuable asset that earns him a spot on the team.
