Farrell has initial 75-man squad for the Lions' tour

Farrell's assistant coaches for the visit Down Under have been confirmed, with England number two Richard Wigglesworth and Ireland's recent interim boss Simon Easterby among the five names announced on Wednesday.

Scotland forwards coach John Dalziel has also been recruited, with Ireland's John Fogarty and Andrew Goodman completing the management team.

One of the initial jobs undertaken by Farrell and his assistants when they gathered together in London for the first time on Tuesday was to begin pencilling in the names of players who were in contention for the tour following the Six Nations.
