Read our privacy policy Ireland lock Joe McCarthy is determined to join Andy Farrell on next summer’s British and Irish Lions tour following a standout breakthrough year in international rugby. The 23-year-old is among a sizeable chunk of Ireland’s squad with aspirations of being selected for the 2025 Lions series against Australia, which will be overseen by head coach Farrell. “I’d say most players would like to be there,” said Leinster second row McCarthy following Saturday’s 22-19 win over the Wallabies in Dublin. “That’ll definitely be an aim but lots of rugby to be played for Leinster and Ireland, hopefully.” Ireland went on to retain the Six Nations title following McCarthy’s man of the match display against Les Bleus in Marseille.
