When will women's rugby have a British & Irish Lions team? - Maggie Alphonsi | RugbyPass Offload

When they sell tickets

I agree....you can have a female Lions club, but who's going to watch it? I use the Women's Soccer World Cup as an example,. Yeah it's great for Women's sports, but compare it to the Men's it doesn't have the same draw.

[@Danimal13]

The women need to build their own history in the game instead of piggy backing off the men’s game but first of all they need to build a fan base and a viewership because in the current state it wouldn’t be worth it money wise and we all know everything revolves around money

[@wjs7506]

You can have a Lions tour if you want. No money will come in, so please don't expect any money/commercialisation out of it. - No HSBC or any major finance company is going to come in to sponsor. - To be honest its not even worth it if it breaks even, the Unions just haven't got the money currently. - If you like the tradition and want to copy it, go for it. But don't compare it to the mens

The Lions be the complete England team.

Isn't Maggie an absolute jewel? Total legend.

Why does womens sport always have to mirror mens? I've never seen any uproar that mens netball doesn't get the level of coverage of women's .

[@kenrehill8775]

Because they want equality. The kind of equality where men pay for everything.

Let's make it happen 👍

At moment it would not work until all home nations are professional, at the moment England would dominate all selection she tried to name a few Celtic players not one would get into women' lions team, and you have to pick the best players regardless, it's something that will happen possibly running along side the men's tour to start with, eventually having there own tour with different countries that are the strongest at the time of the tour

[@kenrehill8775]

And I assume that this lions team would also be 100% funded by the men’s game?

[@exodusdiva2295]

That would be cool if that happens

[@alexjarvis7302]

Who cares ?
