What Goes On Tour in Christchurch - Crusaders v British & Irish Lions Analysis + Highlights
By Jamie Wall
Christchurch played host to one of the most dull games of rugby they've seen all year when the British & Irish Lions came to town.
I was there to witness it all. Here I am to take you through the warm down and reassure you that the result is just what this tour needed, even if it was extremely difficult to watch.

I thought you meant in europe. Because all of the reasons theyre different I wouldn't correlate that to mean for europe, as in french broadcasters pay two or three times as much as the UK or SA broadcasters do, like they do for their league.
With France, it's not just about viewers, they are also paying much more. So no doubt there will be a hit (to the amount the French teams receive for only playing a fraction of it) but they may not care too much as long as the big clubs, the top 8 for example, enter the meaty end, and it wouldn't have the same value to them as the top14 contract/compensation does. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the 3 separate networks broadcast deals only went to the clubs in their regions as well (that's how SR ended up (unbalanced) I believe).
