The @lionsofficial tour is obviously under threat due to the pandemic, wouldn’t it be sensible to push back the @SixNationsRugby until the Summer & postpone the Lions tour to the Summer of 22? The clubs then get some weekends spare & fans might watch the 6 Nations in the grounds?

Personally I think Andy Goode is spot on, I think the rugby union are lucky in ways that they got to have the Rugby World Cup 2019 just before the pandemic broke out all over the world. Compare that to the Olympics, European Championship etc.. all having to be pushed back for this summer.
And as we know a Lions tour without the fans isn’t really a Lions tour. Surely the right option would be to have the tour in 2022 where fans and players can fully enjoy all that comes with a Lions tour. None the less interesting few weeks ahead to see what decision is to be made. With a lot of fans already having booked their places in South African for 2021
Worrying times. https://t.co/OLUL82NlAg
