My proposal would be either:
A) Every 4 years, tour one of NZ, SA, AUS, but all of those national sides play one test each. Tour/warm up games vs other nations & domestic clubs.
B) Don’t change a thing.

Personally, I would abandon the current Lions format & just have them play whoever wins the World Cup 2 years later.
This Australia tour is starting to look like a complete non-event.
Re. Andrew at 12:20, there’s no doubt that he’s a world class operator, but perhaps given Gibson Park’s below par performance tonight, and Mitchell & White waiting in the wings, is it the 9 jersey that is the most hotly contested race for a Test shirt?

@EngRugbyDebate Has to be Ojomoh. You know he’s on fire. when no one mentions how much Bath are missing Ollie Lawrence. The guy has the hands, the hard carrying game, the gas to go on the outside - he’s got it all. England’s long-term 12 and has to be backed.
@TomDDalton Yeah, fair question – I would, with either on the bench. His post-contact metres are a joke. For me, he’s in the same bracket as Ardie Savea and Jasper Wiese in terms of ball carrying ability.
@tyronespurs@SaffasRugby Disagree- the kick just is too long. A kick that allows a player to run on to it means that they comfortably run on to it, not having to break stride if short or not overstretching to get there if long
9/10 wingers in the world don’t get there in time to catch it
@SaffasRugby If you take the bok-tinted glasses off, Pollard was pretty dreadful and has been hit & miss all season.
