MCed by respected long-time Australian rugby commentator Nick McArdle, you won't want to miss this! Guest Speakers:  Andrew Goodman is part of the British & Irish Lions coaching staff, known internationally as the attack guru. Nelson-born Goodman previously was the Crusaders’ assistant coach in Super Rugby, helping them to the 2022 title, and coached Tasman in New Zealand’s NPC. He’s also worked as an assistant coach for two years at Leinster Rugby, where he won the Celtic League and European Challenge Cup during his playing days.

The tour will see the Lions play nine matches in Australia, with three Tests against the Wallabies, and six tour games around the country starting in Perth.

Tickets available from $280.
