Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan confirms offerCovid-19 means tour is unlikely to go ahead in South AfricaHopes that the
British &
Irish Lions Tests against
South Africa could take place this northern hemisphere 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.
