This summer’s Lions tour to South Africa will go ahead as planned.
An eight-match tour will begin against the Stormers in Cape Town on July 3rd.
The Lions are due to play three tests against the World Cup-winning Springboks starting on July 24th.
It’s believed a contingency plan of playing on home soil was cost-prohibitive.
