The chief executive of the British and Irish Lions has confirmed that the organisation are considering facing nations like Fiji or Japan ahead of the Test series against New Zealand in four years’ time as they look at ways of making the tour more competitive.
The Lions were disappointed with the standard of opposition provided ahead of the 2-1 series win over Australia, with the Wallabies refusing to release most of their stars and the nation’s Super Rugby Pacific sides often overmatched.
