Summer Rugby 1996 is given as the main reason for lack of these tours. You can see why as the opposition are playing in their League too.
Whilst it has put an end to part season signings from Down Under, wouldn't aligning the league schedules be a benefit?
'We' could have a proper organised international break or an Autumn Series post GF. Despite loop fixtures and the additional Magic Weekend match the season is too short. For fifty percent of our premier competition, 2024 ends in September and February 2025 will seem like a long way off...we have space for something there just doesn't seem to be the collective appetite for it. I'd even throw in the WCC at season end as it's the pinnacle of that season rather than a curtain raiser to the next and the fixture disruption that brings.
