The British and Irish Lions will take on Japan at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh at 3pm with fans in attendance, the Lions will jet off to South Africa in next week and they will be hoping to win their warm up match against the World Cup Quarter finalists. The Lions opening match will be against the Emirates Lions on the 3rd of July at Emirates Airline Park, it’s a credit to everyone that the tour is going ahead and we can’t wait for it this summer.

The Lions tour is a tradition going back over 100 years and it’s as popular as ever and it’s great to see in this day and age of professional rugby. This tour is going to be very interesting because the Springboks haven’t played a game since the World Cup final in 2019, so the South African’s won’t have the same advantage like they normally would. Who’s going to win the test series? There’s going to be nothing in it, no doubt about it and we can’t wait to see the best of Britain and Ireland up against the best that South Africa have to offer.
