- Lions head coach has discussed idea with New Zealand Rugby
Warren Gatland has raised the tantalising prospect of a “decider” between the British & Irish Lions and New Zealand in the UK next summer – possibly at Twickenham – as a lucrative warm-up Test before the South Africa tour.
Gatland, who led the Lions to a series draw against the All Blacks in 2017, believes the match could generate £5m and revealed he has held discussions with the New Zealand Rugby chief executive, Mark Robinson.
