Grand Slam-winning Ireland boss Andy Farrell is the “perfect guy” to be the next British and Irish Lions head coach, according to two-time tourist Tommy Bowe.
Farrell secured the Guinness Six Nations title on Saturday with victory over England in Dublin, following on from him leading Ireland to the top of the world rankings on the back of last summer’s stunning series win over the All Blacks.
The Englishman served as Lions defence coach in 2013 and 2017, with former Ireland and Ulster wing Bowe believing that Farrell is the ideal candidate to succeed Warren Gatland and spearhead the 2025 series against Eddie Jones’ Australia.
