Lions to play first game in Hong Kong
AAP October 18, 2010, 6:07 pm
The British and Irish Lions will launch their 2013 rugby tour to Australia with a match in Hong Kong.
The game against the Barbarians will serve as a curtain raiser and will be the first time they have played in the region.
Former Scotland and Lions international Andy Irvine has been appointed tour manager, succeeding Gerald Davies.
Davies, who performed the role in South Africa last year, has been named Lions chairman.
Lions chief executive John Feehan said: "To be able to confirm today that the Lions will break new ground with their first ever fixture in Hong Kong will ensure the tour to Australia is even more special.
"I'd also like to congratulate Andy and Gerald on their appointments.
"The Lions will benefit hugely from having two highly regarded and respected former Lions at the helm for the tour to Australia."
