Wednesday night's clash between the British & Irish Lions and the Sharks has been pushed back by an hour - from 19:00 to 20:00 - as the tourists await the results of round of Covid-19 testing. This comes after the Lions confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that a member of management had tested positive for the virus. If this latest round of testing produces more positive cases, then the fixture could be scrapped. "This evening’s game against the Sharks at Emirates Airline Park will still take place provided the subsequent round of PCR testing returns negative results later today. On Tuesday, meanwhile, the tour match between the Bulls and the British Lions scheduled for Saturday at Loftus was also postponed following four positive test results in the Bulls camp.
