LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Farrell is undoubtedly a genuine, approachable operator with a record of ensuring his players enjoy themselves, but the newly-appointed British and Irish Lions coach made it clear on Thursday that having fun will not be his first priority.
Farrell is widely credited with "bringing the joy back" in his role in charge of Ireland, with hugely impressive results on the field going hand in hand. He was appointed for the 2025 tour of Australia on the back on his work there that earned him World Rugby's coach of the year accolade in 2023.
