Dates of Lions tour to South Africa may change

World champions, South Africa may change the dates of a three-Test series against the British and Irish Lions next year.

The eagerly awaited visit is scheduled for July and August 2021 and the Tests in Soweto, Cape Town and Johannesburg clash with the rearranged Tokyo Olympics.

But a possible new, post-coronavirus pandemic global rugby calendar could see the tour dates change rather than the Games in Japan.

There has been speculation about northern and southern hemisphere rugby date changes, including staging the Six Nations and Rugby Championship in March and April.
