QUIZ: We want YOU to choose the next British & Irish Lions head coach

“I said whoever is on the next one – make sure you go as hard as hell because it is a very special privilege to be involved in.”

That is what British & Irish Lions captain Alun Wyn Jones said to his teammates at the end of a gruelling tour to South Africa. The advice should apply to the next Lions head coach, too, whoever it is.

The next Lions tour will take place in Australia in 2025, and there may be a new head coach in place.

We have compiled a list of seven leading candidates and we want YOU to choose who will lead the Lions Down Under. Choose wisely!
