Especially if they are big loses, could that spell the end of the concept?
I could certainly see the tour changing and getting rid of the midweek games.
But is the tour in general at risk?
I know Tigers CEO isn't a fan of the lions tour and he isn't the only one in the PRL who thinks it shouldn't
1) be happening in modern rugby era.
2) Be as long as it is.
Personally i love the lions tour but outside the 2009 SA series i just haven't felt a spark during the tour. Aus was alright but that was only because we won.
Just this whole tour since the first game v the NZ barbarians has felt flat.
And you have to think with the amount of rugby being played already is the Lions tour once every 4 years the best thing for the players and the game?
