[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 770665, member: 70842"] This is what TRP is saying The lions want to start a week so that they can have 2 weeks between AP and Pro12 finals to travel to NZ and prepare for the opening game instead of the current 48 hours after the domestic final. Premiership spokesman said The decision not to allow the tour to be rescheduled to start of June 10th and finish on July 15th was taken on player welfare ground as "We felt the end of tour would be too close to start of season". Also The lions have been force to reject World-wide offers worth millions for an extra test match as a prelude to their NZ tour. Been offers from USA, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Fiji American bid to bring them to Chicago Lions were very keen to tap into the US market. BUT NZRFU (Being shyts) are refusing to shorten the number of games to make room, mixed with the not having an extra week (By PRL) means . [/QUOTE]
