The British Lions play three Tests against Australia on 22/06, 29/06 and 06/07.
They have chased cash in Hong Kong with a mismatch against the Barbarians, been shunted to Perth, not a traditional rugby stronghold, had one real match against Queensland and then two ordinary games in NSW and this week will play another no-brainer.
The net result of this is the Lions have lost nearly ten players to injury..........good maybe for the Wallabies but it dilutes their Test XV and actually apart from match practice what exactly have the Lions learned?
Well, of course, if they win the Series then my criticisms will be lost in the hype which will follow.......but that doesn't make it less valid.
