[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1014012, member: 73144"] In which case it should be postponed. Either for a year or by a whole cycle to 2025. While you can see Aus v NZ every other week, a Lions tour remains special by its very infrequency and deserves to be played in packed stadia. It’s a once in a career opportunity for the host players, a once or twice in a career opportunity for Lions players and a once every 12 year opportunity for host country fans. More so than many sporting events the fans really make the Lions what it is. And although I often rail at the influence of money in sport, a Lions tour brings huge financial value to the host union once every 12 years and that ought to be maximised. SA shouldn’t miss out on that. [/QUOTE]
