‘My plan is to pick the brains of those who have gone before’
Jo Yapp, the women’s British & Irish Lions head coach, revealed that she has spoken to Andy Farrell to pick “the brains of those who have gone before” as she begins her preparations for the inaugural tour.
Yapp, who was in charge of Australia at the World Cup last year, was appointed last month as the head coach for the 2027 women’s Lions tour of New Zealand. Farrell was the head coach of the men’s winning tour of Australia in 2025 and is the Ireland head coach.
