Warren Gatland will lead the British and Irish Lions for a second time after he was confirmed as head coach for the 2017 tour to New Zealand.

The task is a tough one; the All Blacks have not lost a game on home soil since 2009, and the intense schedule of the tour means the Lions will be on the backfoot from the outset.

And the challenge does not end with the three Tests - there are also fixtures against the five Super Rugby sides, three of whom have won a Super Rugby title within the last four years.

But is he the best man to lead the 2017 Lions? Cast your vote below!
