Jones' deal with England will expire after the Rugby World Cup 2023, sparking speculation that the veteran tactician could lead the Lions on a trip to his home country in 2025.

Factually, the Lions coaches usually have experience in one of the four nations that make up the team, such as former England coach Clive Woodward, former Scottish coach Ian McGeechan and two former Welsh coaches Warren Gatland and Graham Henry.

In response to questions from Telegraph readers, Jones was quick to announce that he had no intention of playing the part, instead of confusing the names Farrell and Townsend.

"With all due respect, no. I am Australian and have no affiliation with the Lions Club," Jones wrote.

"I think it's better to let people from my home country do it. I'm also not fit to wear a suit jacket 12 months a year. People like Gregor Townsend or Andy Farrell are more suited to this job than I am."

Irish coach Farrell and Scottish mentor Townsend top the roster to lead the Lions in 2025, and both have experience on this renowned tour team.

Townsend planned the Lions attack in the 2021 South Africa Tour and Farrell joined the team as a defensive coach in the 2017 New Zealand Tour and the 2013 Australia Tour.

Farrell and Townsend have signed a contract with their national team ahead of the Rugby World Cup 2023, meaning that if they decide not to renew the current deal, this combination will be taken into account.
