The British & Irish Lions are ready to roar across South Africa for a three-Test series and we’ve got the full TV schedule, fixture list, dates, times and more.
The British & Irish Lions can claim the series against 2019 World Cup champions South Africa with a victory in the second Test this weekend.
A big day for Dan Biggar’s boot saw the Lions come back from 12-3 down to secure a 22-17 victory in Cape Town. Biggar kicked four penalties and a conversion to rack up a healthy 14-point individual tally as Warren Gatland’s men fought back with a gutsy second-half display.
All eyes now turn to the second encounter between the teams with the Lions aiming for their first series win since 1997.
We chatted exclusively to ex-Lions star Matt Dawson and former South Africa ace Francois Louw ahead of the series for their British & Irish Lions predictions and British & Irish Lions players to watch. We’ll bring you those exclusive chats in the build-up to the weekend’s opening clash!
