The countdown to the New Zealand Lions Series 2017, the<br />
biggest rugby event in New Zealand since Rugby World Cup 2011,<br />
has begun. This will be an amazing six weeks of international<br />
rugby at its best, enriched by the unique atmosphere that only a<br />
New Zealand Lions Series can create. The memories of 2005 are<br />
still very fresh in the minds of many fans today and I know a new<br />
generation of fans will not want to miss out in 2017.<br />
Next year, the spectacle will be even bigger and better than ever<br />
before, as New Zealand Rugby and The British & Irish Lions come<br />
together to build on the amazing legacy of great players, heroic<br />
performances and magical memories from the past 11 series. We<br />
are talking about a team that is made up of the best players from<br />
England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland. The Lions won their last<br />
series in Australia in 2013 and we know that they’ll be incredibly<br />
strong. But equally our teams will unite for the challenge and<br />
for those players lucky enough to take the field this will be an<br />
absolute career highlight. We want as many New Zealander’s as<br />
possible to be there to enjoy the occasion.<br />
The information here and on the official website –<br />
nzlionsSeries17.com – is designed to help you tailor your perfect<br />
series experience. No matter which matches you decide to<br />
attend with your family and friends, the seven host cities across<br />
New Zealand and indeed the whole country will ensure a worldclass<br />
celebration of the game we all love.<br />
I look forward to seeing you at the rugby.<br />
