[QUOTE="kentdorf, post: 997487, member: 83014"] why are the tours in July? it appears that a regular problem is clubs not releasing players especially if they playing in a finals series. So if the tour is made Aug / Sept - would this allow for players to be released as no competitions are being played? hope it means the players can spend more time together before the 1st test instead of the players meeting for the first time at the start of game 1 of the tour surely the Lions tours are easier to go on now in the professional era as unlike days of yor, players are not away from work and home for 3 months on the slow boat to Un Zud. Just gotta tell the club owners to pull their bl00dy heads in & to release players maybe club comps etc can be reduced in Lions Tour years to reduce player burnout? Rugby tours are the best -from grass roots up to the RWC & Lions tour levels - for players & spectators. [/QUOTE]
