Playing touring teams is a short term fix not a long term solution. It was fairly costly for the Lions particularly without a stable season ticket holder income. They had a tour to the US cancelled and I think there were games in Europe where they had to pull out. Finding several months of consistent fixtures to prepare for the Currie Cup without breaking was tough. You need to find a coach that is willing to work that kind of schedule. Kevin Foote is most likely the man however I think he has also gone off to Melbourne.I also like the idea of WF being available to play other teams not within the SR comp, but aside it either at the start of the season or during the dreary four week no game period as well as playing other nations who tour.
