The British and Irish Lions got their tour off a winning start in the weekend with a come from behind victory over the Royal XV in Rustenberg.
It will be a difficult tour for them, whith lots of tavel accross the different climatic zones in South Africa.

I’ll let Bob Skinstad take you through the itinerary.

I’m predicting the Lions to go through almost unbeaten in the provincial games, but in the test macthes i’d expect a 3-0 victory for the Sprinboks. Anything less than that would be a failure for the Boks, but if there is one man who has done it time and again it’s the Lions coach, Ian McGeechan.

My two concerns are the goal kicking, if we dont play Morne Steyn. And the kicking from fullback, depending on who we play there. In my mind, Kirchner has all the skills and is solid and dependable. Still this Bok side has many talented individuals, and the personnel we do have can still do the job.

The Boks have 2 more weeks of preparation and I cant wait for the first test in Durban on the 20th June!
