Harpin' on...Lions tours - still worth it?

Are Lions tours still relevant in the professional era?

Hi welcome to our latest bonus chat this is from our pod recording looking back over Ospreys v Leinster, if you missed it you’ll find it on Apple, Spotify and all the other usual places.

It’s a Lions year and two games into the Six Nations the talk about possible starting XVs and who’s ‘on the plane’ are already happening throughout the ruggersphere. But for right now, we’re going to revisit a angle that we’ve been harpin’ on going way back to 2013 when we had a guest post from long time Babbling Brook message board poster curate's egg titled “Lions: more 'meh', than miaow”.

Basically the question being asked is whether or not the Lions Tours are still relevant in the professional age and the questions have come from more and more people as we have gotten closer to the latest tours since then. Starting with yourself Ciarán, are the Lions a concept worth continuing?
