Lions Womans Tour 2027

This is fantastic news. Stoked that we got the first one.

Womans game on a path of exponential growth and this will only help. Just brilliant.

Yeah - pretty sweet. But the only real option, surely?
Maybe USA - are they still good?
(Checking the rankings - maybe France, Canada, Aus are reasonable options. Do I have a false memory of the USA being the only ones to run us close for ages/decades... until Poms went professional?)

Based on recent form, the Lions will basically be England?

Suspect that’s why it’s 3 years away. Incentive for others to catch up?

The sponsor is offering pathway money, to help improve other nations. Can't wait, is far too long until the next men's tour

Leading into RWC2027. Nice.

The 6 nations is almost done, just the last to come, which has the 'final' in it - England Vs France

For the home nations scores it's England 180 others 20. If this team is selected purely on merit, there really shouldn't be many (any?) non roses in it.

Yeah, it's a bit of a sham at the moment. I had tickets to Saturday's match, but couldn't go unfortunately. Pal who met said it was rather dull with limited atmosphere.

Still got a way to go, Woman's rugby. It is growing though, I have no doubt that it'll be much more competitive in a few years. 2027 might be a bit early for a Lions.

Had a great afternoon in Cardiff watching Wales lose to France. Scoreline did not reflect the match.

Some very good skills on show. Also some abject ordinariness.
