This summer’s British and Irish Lions tour is beginning to round into view and a major milestone on the road to Australia comes as head coach Andy Farrell names his squad.
The best players from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales will be eagerly waiting by their phones to find out if they’ve been selected for what is the pinnacle of any player from those four nations’ career.
Farrell is yet to confirm exactly how big his squad will be, although around 37 has generally been the number on previous tours, but however many he decides to go with, he will face a huge number of dilemmas with so many quality players available across the board.
The Lions squad will be revealed from 1.30pm BST on Thursday 8 May. For the first time, the squad announcement is being held as a live event with around 2,000 Lions fans potentially in attendance at the indigo at the O2.
If you don’t have tickets to the event, don’t worry. You can watch live right here.
