The B & I Lions tour has been a great success thus far. Despite their defeat to SA 'A' a they will be full of confidence heading into the first Test. All three Test matches have now moved to Cape Town due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This will suit the Lions as they won't have to deal with the altitude of Johannesburg, which is generally very beneficial to South Africa. Weather conditions could easily play into the hand of the tourists here.
Wth all the warm-up games complete, all that remains is the three-match Test series.
B & I Lions Betting Odds
The British & Irish Lions have been the favourites since the tour was announced more than a year ago. Despite being world champions, the Springbok lack of game-time has given the tourists the edge, according to the bookmakers at least.
Bookmaker Betway have the tourists priced at 1.72 while the world champions are paying 2.10. A drawn series is priced at 26.00.
One would do well to remember that the B & I Lions drew their last tour in 2017 against New Zealand.
