Andy Farrell is the 1/3 favourite to be the next Head Coach of the British & Irish Lions
Preparation is already well underway for the 2025 British and Irish Lions tour with players from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland coming together once again.
This time around they return to Australia looking to win once more 12 years on from their 2013 winning test series down under and there are now talks around who will be the head coach.
UK Betting Sites offer odds on who will lead the way for the British & Irish Lions with Ireland head coach Andy Farrell the clear favourite in the betting market to take charge.
Farrell has overseen massive growth for Ireland in the past 3 years and has been part of the British & Irish Lions defensive coaching on two previous tours so could fit right in.
Betway have now put Farrell as the clear favourite in the betting market at 1/3 with those odds giving an implied probability of 75% that he takes the job.
| British & Irish Lions 2025 Tour Head Coach | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Andy Farrell | 1/3 | 75.0% |
| Steve Borthwick | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Gregor Townsend | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Graham Rowntree | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Leo Cullen | 8/1 | 11.1% |
What the expert says...
Andy Farrell is the clear favourite at 1/3 to take over as Head Coach of the British and Irish Lions for their 2025 tour of Australia with Warren Gatland stepping back from the role.
Warren Gatland has backed Farrell to take over as Head Coach
Wales head coach Warren Gatland revealed last week that he will not put his name forward this time around to coach the British and Irish Lions tour in 2025.
Gatland has led the way for the Lions in their last three tours with visits to Australia (2013), New Zealand (2017) and South Africa (2021) seeing them win, draw and lose respectively.
The New Zealander announced in his Telegraph article that he would be stepping back and that he wants Andy Farrell to be his successor.
"He was a key member of my Lions coaching teams on the tours of 2013 and 2017," Gatland said around Farrell's previous experience with the Lions.
