England number two Richard Wigglesworth and Ireland’s recent interim boss Simon Easterby have been named as assistant coaches for the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia this summer.
A surprise appointment sees Scotland forwards coach John Dalziel recruited to Andy Farrell’s management team and he is joined by Ireland’s John Fogarty and Andrew Goodman.
Farrell is the only member of the staff with previous Lions coaching experience.
“This is a special day for the Lions and our five new assistant coaches who came together yesterday (Tuesday) for the very first time,” Farrell said.
