Andy Farrell has declared that the decision on any involvement he may have with the British and Irish Lions this year will ultimately be out of his own hands.

The Ireland head coach has been linked with the same defence brief with Warren Gatland reportedly keen on reprising elements of the tours on which both men served in 2013 when Australia were beaten and again in 2017 when the New Zealand chapter ended in stalemate.
