Watch the British & Irish Lions tour on DAZN

One of sports most reverved teams forms again this summer, as the British and Irish Lions undertake their tour of Australia.

Every four years the best players from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are selected to forge a squad to take on the powerhouses of the Southern Hemisphere.

After losing their last series 2-1 to South Africa in the COVID affected 2021 tour, the Lions return to Australia, the scene of their last tour series victory back in 2013.

The Lions, led by the Ireland national coach Andy Farrell and English captain Maro Itoje, will compete over six warm-up matches and three Tests Down Under over a six week period, with every game live on DAZN in Canada.
