Unavailability and injuries have already settled like a swarm of locusts over the summer rugby tours.
The British and Irish Lions have lost their captain, the redoubtable Alun Wyn Jones, for a large portion of their trip to South Africa before he even stepped on the plane. They may even lose him for the Test series itself.
The French, meanwhile, are sending a youthful if dangerous ‘B’ team to Australia, shorn of the players from the two Top 14 finalists – Toulouse and La Rochelle – whose quarantine period would have eaten into the middle part of the tour.

What’s in a name? Those disputing whether the Severn Bridge connecting England and Wales should be named after Aneurin Bevan or the Queen would argue – a great deal.
A row has broken out between Welsh residents and politicians and councillors in South Gloucestershire after the latter voted to rename the mile-long steel bridge across the Severn to mark the Queen’s platinum jubilee in 2022, after she opened the bridge in 1966.
The Conservative councillor for Severn Vale, Matthew Riddle, claimed that the issue was “purely a matter for the English” because the bridge, which links England and Wales via the M48, landed in England on both sides of the estuary.
