THE Lions were missionaries spreading Rugby Union to the southern hemisphere and they were so successful that only one northern hemisphere side has won the World Cup.
The Lions should be going to Georgia, Russia, Spain, Germany, the South Pacific islands and other places to spread the game.
Their work in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa is done.
We are also surely wrong in trying to re-start the rugby season. End the season now, table toppers are champions, top six clubs enter the European Cup.
