Max Duthie, a partner in Bird & Bird’s sports group, is the legal officer to the British and Irish Lions and has been travelling with the tour party on its historic tour to Hong Kong and Australia for six weeks. He has been writing a tour diary, exclusively for Legal Week. This is his fifth and final instalment.
Melbourne, ahead of the second test. My wife, Ali, arrived a day or so before the match, which meant a few hours for me away from the testosterone-fuelled tour party, and a chance to catch up with her, see some old mates and visit some of our favourite places in Melbourne. We had dinner at Bluecorn in St Kilda, and Sails on the Bay in Elwood (both worth a visit), and it was lovely to be out of the tour bubble for a little while, talking about normal stuff.
