Indifferent series of British and Irish Lions against South Africa will face the reorganized Olympics

Sports Mail understands that international matches, in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Soweto, on July 24, July 31 and August 7, respectively, will begin at 6 p.m. local time, 1 a.m. in Japan. That should limit any adverse impact of the Olympic Games being postponed for a year, to a space that directly spans the Lions series against the current world champions.

Sources have indicated that South African authorities are not concerned that this rugby event in their country will take place at a time when the eyes of the sports world will be on the Far East. They still anticipate that British and Irish fans will congregate in thousands, along with strong audience figures.

Within the home unions, there is a strong belief that the tour will be popular and commercially successful, despite the Olympics taking over that precious calendar window. Lions CEO Ben Calveley said: We are determined to play our part in what will be an extraordinary sports summer.

"There shouldn't be any confrontation between Lions matches and Olympic events given the time difference between South Africa and Tokyo, so fans shouldn't miss any action." We look forward to a fantastic series against the world champions.

Meanwhile, Sports Mail understands that Rugby Australia has notified the Lions hierarchy that they are "ready" to organize a tour next summer, in case the coronavirus pandemic threatens South Africa's ability to host the eight-game event. As planned.

At this stage, there have been far more cases in Down Under than in South Africa, where officials insist there is no prospect of any disruption, amid a forced military shutdown in the country.

However, the Australian union was rumored to be struggling with debts of around £ 30 million and feared that a bleak financial picture would indicate its willingness and ability to organize a short-term 2021 backup tour if such intervention is required.

Meanwhile, England winger Jonny May is struggling to secure a club for next season after his contract negotiations were stalled by a coronavirus. The 29-year-old is yet to sign a new deal with Leicester and clubs are reluctant to carry out business amid the financial uncertainty.
