Or close to be.
The biggest appeal in a lion tour: to see the teams build up in parallel until the last three game series. That is the storytelling that brings the hype up.
World of rugby was reluctant to let this tour happen but as usual, when it comes to SA rugby, the favoured child, caution was ignored, everyone banded up to save the ailing man in the rugby world.
Due to a lack of squad depth, SA has been unable to field a proper A team, ruining the storytelling.
Instead of a three test series, it is going to be a four test series. It will take SA only two victories to claim they match the Lions. It is broken. There will be no decider game at the moment.
What a disgrace SA rugby is on the rugby world.
Terminate rugby for the sake of rugby, it is obvious now people can not love the rugby game and SA rugby at the time. It is one or the other. The rubgy game, you love it or you leave it.
