A class act andy. Irish rugby and the irish people owe you so much. Nothing but happiness for you in the future my man, congrats!
Congratulations to Andy on this appointment, truly deserving of his selection ❤
Cant give enough congratulations to Andy, more than deserved. Irish supporter grateful for what he has done for irish rugby andnim sure he can achieve similar success with the lions! We need a man such as Andy a former lion himself and coach and cut from the lions cloth and coming from the home nations himself thats a big plus for all involved and the fans! As good a foreign coach may be he can never truly be understand what the lions actually means to an Irishman, Englishman, welshman or Scotsman! Good luck Andy 🦁🏉🏆🥳💪❤️
Jesus Christ I've never read such rubbish in my life & farrel was never a lion , yes he's turned into a quality coach but was a mediocre union player!
Agree, what a load of crap. 4 nations taking on a country that lost to Fiji doesn't deserve any hype they could just send over Scotland to do the job and save millions on wasted money and time.
On the coaching staff selection. Would love to see Ronan O Gara in there!
Class Man he is ,and you do know hes a green Paddy now T G well done ANDY ,Irish fan and Green God Bless you all .come on Ireland
Good luck Andy! Hopefully he can reignite what the Lions means! 🇬🇧 🇮🇪
What? 😳
What's that got to do with the price of cheese Huw?
Absolutely the right man for the job, could be a really exciting series. Looking forward to it.
Congrats and all the best for 2025! Looking forward to see his squad selection.
Richly deserved I would say!
Congratulations Andy well done. I wish all best 👍👍
Learned under one of the coaching geniuses of rugby, Joe Schmidt.
He only worked with him for a few months then took over his job, I highly doubt he learned much in such a short time
@@pauldavies7251 He was 3 years under Schmidt, 2016-2019.
he is a great coach & seems like a good guy as well!
Awesome can't wait well done Andrew
A brilliant coach and man-manager. A real man of the British Isles. The Celts will warm to him as much as the English boys. Started watching him as a stand-out player for Wigan in Rugby League. Great temperament. Has never changed in that respect. Fine choice by the Lions Committee.
British & Irish Isles :D
100%👍
@@LeMerchOK, I stand corrected…🥺
Just so you know he's the irish head coach. If he's a true man of the British Isles then he may leave the irish players at home as they do not represent the British Isles.
I mean he's been in Ireland coaching for 9 years now in total. He's been head coach of Ireland for 4 years, I'm sure they know him by now
Good northern rugby league lad. Hard as nails. Legend
Best wishes Andy as a Irish Rugby fan he's the best person for the job thank god it was not Gatland thankfully
Top man for the job!
Can’t wait for the Irish lions to kick ass down south next year ☘️
Absolute gent. I cannot wait for the Lions I bloody love it. Really hoping Paulie gets on the coaching ticket.
He is just class ❤
Great choice for The Lions. Hope Australia can improve on there recent form so we can all enjoy a classic Lions series 😀
Bro, this is so rare thing to happen
Can the warm up games be against Australia, Fiji and Samoa and then the three tests against New Zealand instead? Just rename it Australasia tour...
Not going to happen but love the idea!
They should make the SANZAR Tigers and have Australia host, just won't be any of their players involved.
was always nailed on to be him
Absolute no brainer best coach by a mile in the world
Brilliant.
Excellent choice
He will name his irish /captin soon
The Lions know who to pick as do the IRF. One day the RFU will follow suit.
question. by beaing coach of lions, does that not give other nations countries insight to how u coach irish national team and new schemes and training stsyles
Chons da, Mr Farrell👍.
Andy can now just save his time by just selecting his Lions in two picks, Pick 1 his son , pick 2 the whole World No 1 Irish team , good lad!!
Best thing is he’ll ensure the Lions will play a magnificent, thrilling brand of rugby, something that’s been sorely missing in recent series. Aussies will be hard-pressed to counter what he delivers.
absolutely the right man for the job..let's hope the Aussies can rebuild in time otherwise the tour could end up being a big disappointment. Beating them by 40 points a game would not be good for rugby and on current form that sort of scoreline is likely.

Etc
Wallabies are very poor Lions to win 3:0❤
who?
It’s going to be 1974 all over again, the Lions will annihilate Australia, and finish the tour unbeaten.
Be a miracle if Australia lose by less than 30 points each test - from a South African.
Amazing that a RL forward has made it to the top of the RU coaching tree!!!!
Bet the anti league brigade are fuming.
Where is the league hate??
Since the game turned pro union has stolen most of the top league coaches for they're defence coaches,
People like farrell & shaun Edwards are loved by union folk 🤔
