Headlines With Hook 12:57–17:38

• George questions whether Andy Farrell’s legacy as head coach will be damaged if the Lions fail to beat Australia on their upcoming tour. He argues that:

• Tradition has been lost: Hook believes the Lions have lost their identity, citing the inclusion of foreign-born players as evidence that it’s no longer a true representation of the home nations.

• It’s all about money now: He emphasizes that commercial interests have overtaken tradition, leaving the historic spirit of the Lions diminished.
