Former British and Irish Lions coach Sir Ian McGeechan has criticised the 2013 tour schedule claiming it is "short-sighted and unfair".
"They have to be big enough to do these things properly, the Lions is the biggest thing in a player's mind," he added. "There will always be time constraints but give Warren a week before departure, that would not be perfect but it would be fair. "He faces an even bigger challenge in that regard than I did in 2009. Does he leave with one hand tied behind his back? Yes, I believe he does."
