The squad, drawn from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, played a warm-up match against Japan before heading south to face provincial sides—including dominant wins against franchises like the Sigma Lions, Sharks, and Stormers—and a narrow midweek defeat to South Africa A. In the three-match Test series against the world champion Springboks, the Lions struck first with a spirited second-half comeback to win the opener 22–17, aided by a pivotal maul try from Luke Cowan-Dickie and reliable goal-kicking from Dan Biggar. However, South Africa responded emphatically, winning the second Test 27–9 and clinching the series with a dramatic 19–16 victory in the decider—sealed by a late penalty from Morne Steyn.
