Looking increasingly likely that the Lions management are going to request the tests go ahead this year in the UK and Ireland.
Not just the tests, but the other tour matches as well by flying the SA provincial teams to the UK to recreate the original tour schedule.

@sparky The All Blacks are - COVID permitting - already playing Italy (2x) and Fiji in July, this year
And we can scarcely contain our excitement. Those games are going to be very, very one-sided. Italy and Fiji should play the Junior All Blacks.

@MajorRage surprised they havent put thier hands up for the Olympics too!
No way is Aus gonna let 30,000 fans in.

Aus pitch is around ex-pat fans attending rather than touring fans.

@KiwiMurph i reckon they'd be better off pitching the Aus tour for 2021, postpone the SA one until 2024.

Apparently Oz are offering to host
@taniwharugby beat me to it. Surprised it took this long.

As a kiwi, I'd go and watch this if priced sensibly.

Same with this
Ditto. I haven't seen France live since 2011.

Might be rubbish, but also might mean we can go for a wee trip to Oz to support the Lions - sweet!
Support reportedly growing for Australia option as Lions officials set to discuss finer details
The response was tepid last month to Australia hosting the Lions vs South Africa tour but momentum has reportedly now grown for the idea.

@Machpants oh i am so going to any Brisbane test
even with expat only fans it should still be fun, if nowhere near as good as the travelling groups

Still a shit idea. Who are the Lions going to play outside of Tests?
