Lions Tour & Summer Internationals
The Lions Tour of Australia will dominate rugby headlines during the summer of 2025, but the four home unions – England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales – will also undertake their own summer tours.
Exact details have yet to be confirmed, but it is expected that England will tour Argentina; Ireland will tour Georgia and Romania; Scotland will tour the Pacific Islands; whilst Wales will tour Japan.
