Rowntree and Farrell to coach the Lions

England coaches Graham Rowntree and Andy Farrell will assist British and Irish Lions head coach Warren Gatland on this summer’s tour of Australia.
Rob Howley, who has stepped in as Wales‘ interim coach while regular Wales boss Gatland prepares for the tour, will also be part of the staff.
Rowntree and Howley worked on the 2009 tour of South Africa, but it will be Farrell’s first Lions involvement.
The trio’s individual areas of responsibility should be confirmed on Wednesday when the official announcement is made.
