Women's Lions Feasibility Study funded by Royal London

Royal London, Lions Global Partner, is funding a feasibility study which will seek to ascertain whether a Women's Lions team could be formed.  Royal London is an inaugural ‘Principal Partner’ of the Women’s Lions programme.

Ben Calveley, The British & Irish Lions Managing Director, said:  “I believe a Women’s Lions team is a huge opportunity, but there are a number of challenges to consider when looking to create a successful women’s set-up. Financial viability, suitable opposition and appropriate scheduling in the women’s rugby calendar will all need rigorous analysis, research and careful consideration.

“We are very grateful to be working with a purpose-driven organisation like Royal London on this initiative. Our broader commercial family – including Sky, Vodafone and Canterbury – have also committed to provide their expertise and play an active role in the feasibility analysis.”
