[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 507927, member: 40658"] I think what also contributed to this was the 2009 B&I Lions tour to SA. the great atmosphere surrounding every game, the Stadiums packed, the coming together of people from around the World all for our magnificent game. I remember at the second test at Loftus after the game, there were people asking fans if they'd like to see more of these types of tours and everyone unanimously agreed to it. I guess in a way that survey also aided in the IRB's decision. It's also a great way of measurement to the end of year tour when the Southern team travel up North with the Roles reversed. Now the NH tournaments are finished and the SH tournament(s) halfway through, to see how the teams play. There was always the complaint that when the SH teams travel at the end of year that the guys are by then burnt out and won't play as well as expected, but now we can't say that as the NH teams are in the same boat with these winter tours.
