Will the Lions test against South Africa have fans in the stadium?

Not possible. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Lions tour with South Africa will have zero fans.

Like the rest of the world, the entire African continent has had a bad time in the pandemic, and the surge in cases has made it unsafe for supporters to participate in the tour in South Africa.

There will also be no fans in the warm-up matches with regional teams.
