The British & Irish Lions are set for a challenging two-week tour in Australia, featuring five matches across five states and a significant travel distance of 5,700km. This tour involves over 90 personnel, creating substantial logistical demands. Coach Andy Farrell aims to solidify player combinations leading up to the Test series commencing on July 19, particularly after a defeat by Argentina. The opening match against the Western Force is crucial for identifying players' form and potential selection for upcoming critical tests, amidst the complexities of team dynamics and travel fatigue.
As plate-spinning exercises go it is a major logistical challenge.
There are more than 90 people attached to this Lions expedition once you add in all the backroom staff, bottle washers and comms types.
