Lions eye women鈥檚 team

The British and Irish Lions have set up a feasibility group led by former Lions star Ieuan Evans to explore the possibility of setting up a women鈥檚 rugby union team. Lions tours bring together the best male players from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland to face New Zealand, Australia and South Africa every four years but there is no women鈥檚 equivalent. Former Wales winger Evans, a veteran of three Lions tours, will chair a 13-strong steering group, including rugby administrators, business leaders, coaches and players. Evans said the women鈥檚 game was experiencing 鈥渦nprecedented growth around the world鈥. 鈥淎 women鈥檚 Lions team is a big opportunity for the women鈥檚 game, and I am looking forward to working with the steering group to assess its viability,鈥 he said in a statement yesterday.
