Ronan O'Gara and Conor Murray included among Sky Sports' pundits for Lions Tour

Owen Farrell is also included on a list of on-screen talent which features Lions legends and newer names in punditry.

IRISH RUGBY GREATS Ronan O’Gara and Conor Murray will provide analysis on Sky Sports for this summer’s British and Irish Lions tour.

La Rochelle head coach O’Gara and his one-time teammate Murray, who has just departed Munster, will feature either in studio or from pitch-side in Australia in the coming weeks, the broadcaster confirmed.

So too will ex-England captain Owen Farrell, who may yet be summoned Down Under in a playing capacity by his father, Lions head coach Andy Farrell.

Three-time Lions head coach Warren Gatland and his former Wales and two-time Lions captain Sam Warburton will also feature, with Warburton leading Sky’s punditry from the same studio as is typically used for Monday Night Football.
