The rugby

Unpopular opinion, I never cared one way to the other about the Lions.

I’ve never really seen the relevance of the Lions in the professional era. I understand that it is no doubt an honour and very prestigious to be selected as a player to go on tour, but from a sporting perspective it is a bit like a greatest hits compilation?
The pinnacle of RU achievement is the WC, a Lions tour does not even affect the world rankings and therefore the seedings for the draw. It is just another opportunity for players to get injured needlessly as far as I can see.

There I said it!

It was one of my first posts on here, but once it had got passed vetting and was allowed to be visible thread had moved on a couple of pages. So not surprised if anyone missed it.
Glad I’m not the only one @Pblakeney
