Summary
We're less than a week away from the first British and Irish Lions game of the 2021 Tour.
Joining Brian in the studio to look ahead to the tour is the former South Africa captain and World Cup winner Bob Skinstad.
Bob gives us the lowdown on the current South Africa side who haven't played a test match since the 2019 World Cup final as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
England forwards coach Matt Proudfoot was part of the South African coaching setup for that World Cup win and he joins the show to discuss the upcoming series and where he feels it will be one and lost.
And Harlequins produced a sensational comeback in the Gallagher Premiership, coming from 28-0 down to defeat Bristol. We speak to the Telegraph's Ben Coles, who was at Ashton Gate , about the match and also about next weeks final against defending Champions Exeter.
