After a chaotic day of disrupted preparations, the tourists ran out easy winners against the Sharks at Ellis Park. The squad will be tested today and tomorrow to ensure the fixture can go ahead. The Lions are due to play South Africa 'A' on Wednesday, with those players drawn from the 48-man Springbok squad. The results of those tests will determine whether we will be able fulfil this fixture, but, as it stands, we are optimistic. “We remain committed to the Tour in South Africa and determined to rise to the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
