Seemed inevitable really.

I don't think there is any other sport whose competition could be harmed so much by 2 teams withdrawing.

Hope it's a success when it happens; it's a entertaining sport, far more so than RU

Yes can’t really hold a competition without the key teams in it.

I liked your post initially until I read the part about being better than Union!

Seems like the right decision, even though it also means Australia are 95% likely to win the rearranged one.

I stand by it. I've tried following the Lions as I recognize it's a unique event, one I quite Le the idea of. However, I keep coming back to the conclusion that I don't much like the sport itself.

Yes, it did seem inevitable didn't it.
You always feel for all those that work at these things for years but hopefully next year will be a much better time to hold a tournament.
