Wales coach Warren Gatland will coach the British & Irish Lions on their 10-match tour of New Zealand in 2017.It will be Gatlands third tour with the historic side having acted as assistant on their trip to South Africa in 2009 and then head coach in 2013 for Australia for their 2-1 series win.Gatland, who was born in Hamilton, is charged with masterminding a series victory against the worlds best side, the All Blacks. Deemed the hardest challenge in rugby, the Lions last tour against New Zealand in 2005 saw them lose the series 3-0.But Gatland is in no mood for pessimism.Its a huge honour. If there are people, players or coaches, who believe we havent got a chance put your hands up now and dont get on the plane, Gatland said. We have to go there as a team and believe we can be successful.To go to New Zealand and lead the team against the back to back world champions in their own back yard -- theres no bigger challenge. Im hugely looking forward to it.He plans to name his backroom staff on December 7 and favours a mixture of continuity from the 2013 tour and fresh faces.?And his appointment as Lions coach sees him take a sabbatical from Wales duties where he has led them to two grand slams and a further Six Nations championship since taking the post in 2007.We are delighted to have Warren as head coach for a second Tour, Lions tour manager John Spencer said. His international track record speaks for itself and he also understands the essence of the Lions and how to unite four nations in one purpose.Warren is acutely aware of the challenges we will face in New Zealand and we are confident he is the right man to lead us to a series victory.The 10-match tour starts on June 3 when the Lions face the NZ Barbarians, a game that falls just a week after the Aviva Premiership and PRO12 finals.
