Wikipedia - 2021 British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa
The 2021 British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa was an international rugby union tour that took place in South Africa in July and August 2021. The British & Irish Lions, a team selected from players eligible to represent England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales, played a three-match test series against South Africa, and tour matches against three of South Africa's four United Rugby Championship teams and South Africa A.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the tour, leading to numerous schedule changes and the matches in South Africa taking place without fans present. Before leaving for South Africa, the Lions beat Japan in a warm-up match at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. They won all of their matches against the South African franchises, but lost to South Africa A.
South Africa won the test series by two matches to one. The Lions won the first test 22–17 on 24 July, but South Africa won the second test 27–9 a week later before winning the third test 19–16 with a late penalty on 7 August.
Warren Gatland was the Lions' head coach, making him only the second coach to lead the team on three consecutive tours. Alun Wyn Jones of Wales was the Lions' tour captain, but was injured in the home match against Japan on 26 June; he initially withdrew from the squad before returning three weeks later. Ireland's Conor Murray took over as captain during Jones' absence.
Turneringen har sitt ursprung i 1888 års turné av ett brittiskt lag till Australien och Nya Zeeland, och har sedan dess spelats med jämna mellanrum, med undantag för de två världskrigen. Sedan 1989 har turneringen spelats mellan Lions och ett av de tre stora rugbynationerna i södra halvklotet, som tur och ordning är värdar för turneringen.
Lions Tour är en av de mest prestigefyllda händelserna i rugbyunionkalendern och är känd för sin hårda och spännande rugby. Turneringen är också en stor social händelse, med fans från alla fyra nationerna som reser för att stödja sitt lag.
