British & Irish Lions tour to France: No-brainer or an erosion of history?
About this episode
The episode discusses the potential touring options for the British & Irish Lions and the implications for rugby tradition.
The British & Irish Lions are exploring the possibility of touring Japan, Argentina or France. Is this a dangerous erosion of tradition? A shameless money grab? Or a brilliant thing to propel the Lions into a "different stratosphere"? And, what would it mean for the traditional tours to New Zealand, South Africa and Australia? Alfie, Alex and Will are in studio to discuss the future of the Lions and ask what do they want to be in the professional era? Elgan looks back on the latest round of the Women's 6 Nations and they discuss the latest action in Prem rugby and look ahead to Bath's trip to Bordeaux in the Champions Cup. *** Allianz Future Fund | Allianz Insurance Hosted on Acast.
