British & Irish Lions CEO Ben Calveley believes Andy Farrell is “in a very strong position” to lead the famous touring side to New Zealand in 2029 following the 2-1 series victory over Australia this summer.
The Lions touring party began their departure from Sydney on Sunday following the previous night’s lightning-interrupted third and final Test defeat to the Wallabies, having taken a 2-0 lead in the series with back-to-back victories in Brisbane and Melbourne.
