Western Australia's Optus Stadium and South Australia's Adelaide Oval are front runners to host one of the British and Irish Lions rugby tests in 2025.

After the success of Gather Round, there are calls for WA to invest more into hosting events such as the British and Irish Lions rugby test.

Oliver Peterson believes the government should invest more to bring major events to Perth.
