Test Rugby British & Irish Lions Home Series

[Jascave]

How does the idea of the British & Irish Lions play a home series against ie Australia or the All Blacks in a 4 game series?

The series would look like this:

Game 1:Lions v Wallabies/All Blacks (Murrayfield)
Game 2: Lions v Wallabies/All Blacks (Dublin)
Game 3: Lions v Wallabies/All Blacks(Cardiff)
Game 4: Lions v Wallabies/All Blacks (Twickenham)

Can you imagine the support the Lions would get when playing in front of 70-80,000 at ie Cardiff or Twickenham? The Wallabies or All Blacks would be intimidated and would now understand what the Lions go through when playing away from home.

Wallabies/Kiwis/Sth African combined team to make it fair.

To be honest,the Lions have a big support here so it's not that one sided.

And it's a FOUR country team lmao.

So what add Argentina to the list

This comment makes no sense?

do you mean add Argentina to the 12 year cycle making it a 16 year cycle?

 

[Matt121]

No, just have Argentina players for the British and Irish home matches not away.

No, just have Argentina players for the British and Irish home matches not away.

1. So you're saying Argentina should tour over there?

2. Why do the Argies have to play them away and not at home if you're saying that they should be added to the schedule?

3. When would this fit in the International schedule?

4. Which provinces would the Argies play? (over 4 countries)

5. How would you decide the provinces fairly?

6. One of the great historical things about the Lions and the thing that galvanises all the supporters is they are sticking together to travel afar.

7. It would likely be a one sides series.

This will never happen. It's not worth suggesting otherwise.
