    Good idea if it can happen.

    An AB Vs the B&I Lions at Twickenham or Cardiff could be a massive money-maker.

    While it might be the biggest gate and TV earner for a single game, I can't see that the amount of revenue from that one game will do much overall. Nowhere near enough. £8M maybe gate receipts plus the TV rights, less costs of staging the game. So a good few £M but with the RFU suggesting a loss of revenue of around £50M and the Aussies in dire straits by all accounts, this seems like a drop in the ocean. Also being over a year away, will it even be in time to be financially relevant?

      @Catogrande yeah might as well not do it eh! Probably no point in working this week as the relative amount of money isn't really worth it when I look at the mortgage.

        I agree that we might as well not do it, but coming from a different perspective. If the match doesn't go ahead, we've still drawn with the ABs. I'll take that!

          July 15 (Reuters) - The British and Irish Lions tour to world champions South Africa will stick to its July/August 2021 schedule, organisers confirmed in Wednesday, ensuring it will overlap with the Tokyo Olympic Games.
          
          South African Rugby had previously spoken about the possibility of moving the tour to later in the year if a new global rugby calendar was agreed.

                  By massive. You mean same size as 2017.

                  Which is a good result.

                                    that, Scott, is a very astute move.

                                    hopefully, for the good of Super Rugby, a bit of the old Gats magic rubs off on Scott.

                                        Probably, but good on him if he can get it and he would go with my blessing (not that that's worth anything).
