The British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa gets underway with a clash against their namesake, the Lions. The British and Irish Lions warmed up for the tour with a 28-10 victory over Japan a week ago. The Lions have played two Currie Cup matches over the last couple of weeks, going down 39-10 to the Pumas but bouncing back to beat Western Province 38-32. When these sides squared off 12 years ago, the British and Irish Lions recorded an emphatic 74-10 victory. I’m Craig and will be taking you through the action with live updates and running commentary.
