Lions need Tour’s six-game build-up, insists Ian McGeechan

Former British and Lions coach Ian McGeechan says the 2017 tourists “need all six games” in the build-up to the first Test in New Zealand.

The Lions’ 10-game tour begins on 3 June with the first Test on 24 June in Auckland.

“I know there’s talk at the moment of shortening a Lions tour, but that’s from people who’ve never done it,” McGeechan told the BBC
