OSN to screen British and Irish Lions Tour of Australia

Dubai: Live coverage of the British and Irish Lions Tour of Australia will be shown in high definition on OSN Sports 1 HD from June 1 to July 6.

Jim Rosenthal will anchor the coverage alongside former England and Wales centres Jeremy Guscott and Scott Gibbs, who played together in the last winning Lions tour of South Africa in 1997.

Once in Australia, the trio will be joined by Australia fly-half Michael Lynagh and England hooker Steve Thompson.

The Lions will play seven warm-up matches from June 1 to 25 before a three-Test series against Australia on June 22, 29 and July 6.
