South Africa are planning for all matches of the British and Irish Lions tour to be played behind closed doors, but have not given up hope that some spectators will be present.

A revised schedule for the eight fixtures has been published, with the coronavirus pandemic forcing adjustments to be made to the original itinerary that reduce travel and create stable team bases.
