End of Season Tours....Why?

Following neatly on from my last blog post, there's a good article here about the pointless-ness (is that a word?) of end of season tours in a World Cup year.

The author - Peter Jackson - points out that France arranging a tour of New Zealand and England playing out in South Africa only a couple of months before the Finals is probably not a very good idea.

It's kinda stating the obvious, I agree. But it does raise these important questions : 'Which idiots arrange these things?' and 'Why?'.
