Andy Farrell says he will ‘do what’s right for Irish rugby’ in the wake of reports that he is being lined up for another coaching role with the British and Irish Lions this summer.

The Daily Telegraph reported yesterday that Warren Gatland had the Ireland head coach in his sights for a role on his management staff but the situation is loaded with uncertainty due to Covid, lockdowns and the ramifications for schedules.
