What’s Happening on the Current Tour?

Right now the Lions are on a high‑stakes tour of South Africa. The first test ended in a nail‑biting draw, with Stuart Hogg scoring a last‑minute try that kept the series alive.

In the second test, the Lions edged a win thanks to a brilliant defensive stand in the final minutes. Sam Simmonds led the forward pack, winning crucial turnovers that turned the tide. The third test will decide the series, and the build‑up is already full of speculation: will the coaches keep the same back‑line, or will a surprise starter change the dynamic?
