England’s rugby team is bringing wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso on their summer tour, even though he’s suspended and won’t be able to play in the two-Test series against Argentina. It’s an unusual move—selecting a player who can’t actually take the field—but suggests the coaches see long-term value in having him around the squad.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about filling a roster spot—it’s a signal that England is investing in Feyi-Waboso’s future, suspension or not. For fans, it raises questions about squad strategy: Is this a mentorship opportunity, or are they banking on his potential beyond this tour? Either way, it’s a talking point for rugby watchers.

The British and Irish Lions are putting their foot down—they want Australia’s top rugby players to suit up for their club teams during the Lions’ warm-up matches before the big Test series. Essentially, they’re saying, "No hiding your stars—let’s see them in action early."

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about fairness—it’s about spectacle. The Lions want their pre-Test games to be competitive and exciting, not watered-down affairs. For fans, it could mean seeing big names clash sooner, but it also puts pressure on Australia’s rugby bosses to balance player workload with the demands of a high-stakes tour.

Two former British & Irish Lions players, Matt Dawson and Jamie Roberts, teamed up with BBC rugby correspondent Chris Jones to debate and rank the top 10 most iconic figures in Lions history. Their picks—likely a mix of fearless leaders, game-changers, and unforgettable personalities—are featured in a new BBC Sounds podcast series diving into Lions tour lore.

Editor’s Note: For rugby fans, especially those who bleed Lions red, this is like sitting in a pub with legends arguing over the all-time greats. It’s not just nostalgia—it’s a celebration of the players who defined one of sport’s most storied teams, sparking debates and maybe even a few friendly disagreements among supporters.
