Andy Farrell is poised to finalize his British & Irish Lions coaching staff, seemingly overlooking England's assistants despite their recent success in the Six Nations. Steve Borthwick, the current England coach, revealed he hasn't been consulted about his backroom team's inclusion. With Farrell expected to announce his coaching appointments soon, it appears England's assistants will not feature in the Lions setup, marking a second consecutive tour without their involvement. However, several England players are anticipated to be named in the squad following a strong Six Nations campaign.
Andy hasn't talked about any of the coaching team at this stage. I'd love them to have the opportunity... That Lions experience... was one of the best, if not the best, experience I've had in my life.
With Farrell naming his coaching ticket in nine to 10 days' time, the assistants... are all expected to be passed over, ensuring England coaches miss out for the second Lions tour in a row.
