So, they've formally announced that Faz Snr will be the Head coach for the next tour.

Thoughts? Lots of Irish in the team? A thoughtful balance of the best players available?

With Australia being so poor is there any bite in this tour? Will be interesting to see the uptake. I would just take the Ireland squad and that would do the trick. You could probably take the Scotland squad and scrape a win.

Always loved the idea of going on a lions tour, maybe not the whole thing but certainly 2-3 weeks touring and catching one of the tests.

I’m guessing the official lions site is the place for buying tickets? Has anyone got any experience?

Maybe the Ladies Lions (Lionesses?) Tour will be better?

On current form itd be a no hoper for Australia
But they’ve just appointed joe Schmidt as head coach
The same joe Schmidt that took Ireland from also rans to 3 six nations titles in 6 years including their first ever grand slam
Also just finished up as attack coach for NZ all blacks
With 18 months to work in I expect Australia to be a very different animal come the lions tour
