South Africa legend Joel Stransky resigned to Lions tour not taking place as planned

South Africa rugby legend Joel Stransky says he sees no way that the British and Irish Lions tour can go ahead as planned. Worse still, the man whose extra-time drop goal won the Springboks their first World Cup, fears the 2021 Lions could be lost forever. “The realist in me says that the Lions tour is not going to happen,” said Stransky. “In all likelihood..

there’s a possibility it could never happen.” South Africa is a country in level three lockdown, with a nightly curfew between 9pm and 6am until at least January 15.

Failure to wear a face mask in public is punishable by a fine or imprisonment. A South African variant of Covid-19 is causing such concern that direct flights have been banned to the UK.
