When is the Lions squad announced? Date, time, how to watch and fixtures for Australia tour
The British and Irish Lions squad for their forthcoming 10-match tour to Australia will finally be confirmed this week.
The Lions head Down Under this summer for the first time since 2013 for three July Tests against Joe Schmidt’s resurgent Wallabies, taking place in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
This year Andy Farrell is taking charge of the famous and historic quadrennial touring team drawn from players from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, having previously served as predecessor Warren Gatland’s defence coach during the memorable series win in Australia in 2013 and in the dramatic drawn series against the All Blacks in New Zealand four years later.
