Time for the Lions!
Andy Farrell and Co will head down under this summer, taking on Australia in a three game series.
Farrell had coached Ireland to back-to-back Six Nations titles in 2023 and 2024, but his side fell short in his absence this year.
Coached by Simon Easterby in the 2025 Six Nations, Ireland came third, but are still expected to be well represented in the squad selection.
Easterby will join Farrell in the coaching staff, alongside former Irish fly-half Johnny Sexton.
England were the highest finishers of the four sides represented through the British and Irish Lions in the 2025 Six Nations, so expect a plethora of English talent in there as well.
Scotland are also expected to have a number of individuals in the side, but for the Welsh, a poor few years mean their representation may be few and far between.
Flanker Jac Morgan may have been in contention for captain after an injury all but ruled Caelan Doris out of contention, but reports suggest Maro Itoje will head down under as skipper.
