British and Irish Lions have named Graham Rowntree and Neil Jenkins on the coaching staff for the tour of New Zealand.
Wales’ Jenkins and Harlequins’ Rowntree will, along with fellow coaches Steve Borthwick, Andy Farrell and Rob Howley, complete the team headed by Warren Gatland.
Both will be touring with the Lions for the fifth time – twice as players and three times as coaches, including the successful series in Australia in 2013.
Gatland said: “We all know what Neil and Graham bring – a huge amount of knowledge, experience and expertise at club, international and eight Lions Tours between them. They understand what it will take to win in New Zealand and to have them on board again is positive.
“I know Graham and Steve will complement each other and Neil will give us valuable backs and skills support. Given the schedule, with two games a week, having six coaches will allow us to devote enough time to ensuring we are successful.
“I believe we have a coaching team that will get the best out of what will be a highly talented and motivated group of players capable of winning the Test series.”
