The British and Irish Lions are preparing for their summer tour of South Africa, where the team will play eight matches in three cities.
They will have six warm-up games in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town before their three Tests against the Springboks from July 24-August 7.
Warren Gatland‘s men won the series in 2013 in Australia before drawing in New Zealand in 2017. The total tour consists of 10 matches, which included the Lions’ 28-10 win against Japan at Murrayfield.
No fans will be present for any game in South Africa due to the coronavirus pandemic. You can find all the information you need for this summer’s tour below.
