Lions 2021: Ulster involvement

by

, ,

Warren Gatland and his team of coaches are set to announce the British and Irish Lions squad, that will take on South Africa in July and August, on Thursday 6th May

The squad will be limited between 35-37 players, four shy of the number taken to New Zealand four years ago but the same number that toured South Africa in 2009, probably due to the, closer time zones and readily available flights between the UK to South Africa.
