LONDON :Warren Gatland has gone for a mix of the tried and tested alongside new blood by appointing Gregor Townsend, Robin McBryde, Steve Tandy and Neil Jenkins as his assistant coaches for this year's British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa.
"A Lions Tour is a unique challenge, so it’s important to have some continuity in the coaching group," Gatland told journalists on Tuesday. "It means more now than it did 24 years ago," the former flyhalf said."It was such an enjoyable tour and winning a test series is incredible. The friendships created were as memorable as the games on the field.
That, and the continuing uncertainty about the exact format of the tour and the need for the huge party to remain in a COVID-secure bubble, mean even more logistical challenges than usual for Gatland and his team.
