Unpopular opinion: Argentina deserves a new tour.

[lagoerson]

Argentina had been destination of Lions tour often before World War II. They came in 1910, 1927 and 1936.

Argentina had gave rugby a lot since always. Already in the 1950s the competitive level was comparable to Ireland, Scotland or Wales.

Do you think we deserve a new Lions tour?

Not that unpopular an opinion - it's been expressed repeatedly (by B&I fans) for about 2 decades

If the Lions are to keep going I'd prefer a 3 match test of Lions v a SANZAAR select at this point.

This summer will see a Lions tour where Australia are ranked behind three of the Lions nations and between 8 and 10 ranking points (depending on Saturday's result in Dublin) behind one of them. Don't really see the point anymore when there's consistently one or two Lions nations capable of going on their own three game tour to any SH country who are capable of winning. For all of the 20th century and turn of the millenium only England, sporadically, could go and win in SA or NZ. With Ireland and Wales beating Oz in the 70s being the only other times a Lions nation won away in the SH.

I would like a part Argentina/Australia tour. Would definitely up for visiting Argentina to watch a few games as Argentina is on my bucket list
