Final Words

All eight matches of the upcoming 20201 British & Irish Lions Tour will be played in either Gauteng or Cape Town to minimize the risk of any disruption caused by the pandemic. So, fingers crossed for a series of epic, covid-free clashes.

The Lions lost the Test series 2-1 back in 2009, but following a series draw against New Zealand in 2017, Warren Gatland’s men will have high hopes of repeating their 1997 victory, when big beasts like Martin Johnson, Lawrence Dallaglio, and Gregor Townsend endured a brutal tour.
