This year, the British and Irish Lions will tour South Africa to play an incredible eight tournaments.
The British and Irish Lions will play three test matches and five other games against the defending world champion South Africa in the 2021 Epic Tour.
The teams will play all eight games in Gauteng or Cape Town to reduce the risk of disruption Covid-19 pandemic. The timetable can accommodate a stable team base and training fields, and significantly decreases travel. The Lions are the world’s best team, and their trip in 2021 will be a special one.
The Lions lost the Test streak 2-1 in 2009, but after their streak draws with New Zealand in 2017, they have high hopes of repeating the win in 1997.
