Israel and Iran missile tensions causing chaos for British and Irish Lions fans June 24, 2025 Missile tensions between Iran and Israel in the Middle East have caused travel chaos for British and Irish Lions fans heading to Australia. Large numbers of rugby fans heading Down Under to be in Perth in time for Saturday’s opening match of the British and Irish Lions tour are flying via Doha, the UAE and [...]
Will British and Irish Lions sue Rugby Australia over player eligibility row? June 23, 2025 If you were to list the top moments from each of the last five British and Irish Lions tours then you’d almost certainly find that at least one entry didn’t happen on the pitch. In 2021 it was South African coach Rassie Erasmus breaking down the flaws in refereeing calls, and in 2017 it was [...]

Andy Farrell Lions coaching picks are smart but uninspiring March 29, 2025 It can take as long as four months to sail from the shores of the British Isles to the port of Brisbane, where the first Test of the British and Irish Lions tour will take place. Given there’s only 114 days until that first Test, it would be one hell of a shift for Shaun [...]
Ireland confirm replacement for British and Irish Lions coach Farrell September 17, 2024 Simon Easterby will take charge of Ireland’s rugby union team while Andy Farrell is away coaching the British and Irish Lions. Farrell will lead the touring side to Australia next summer for a three-Test series against the Wallabies. It means he will not be able to lead Ireland in the 2025 Guinness Six Nations, where [...]
