- Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan confirms offer
- Covid-19 means tour is unlikely to go ahead in South Africa
Hopes that the British & Irish Lions Tests against South Africa could take place this summer, and with fans in attendance, look a little brighter with Rugby Australia making an unexpected offer to host the series.
The South African variant of Covid-19 means the tour is unlikely to go ahead in that country, especially with fans, and there has been speculation that the games may be played at stadiums in the UK and Ireland instead, even in the absence of supporters.
