Excuse my ignorance-Rugby British Lions Tour-How does it work?

[The General]

I put a pick in on the Lions awhile back, but I was just goofing around liking the odds and I was having this gut feeling. Anyhow, as silly as it is I really know nothing about the league. When is it decided and how do they decide the champion?

Thanks

They play a series of 3 test matches, obviously whichever side wins 2 wins the series. Gonna be tough this year and very physical.

Saturday 20th June, Durban
Saturday 27th June, Pretoria
Saturday 4th July, Johannesburg

All games kick off at 9am ET I believe.

The British Lions are the creme-de-la-creme of British rugby with the best players taken from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland to make a super team.

If anyone is with a book offering prices for the first game tommorow at 9EST, The Lions are an absolutely fantastic dog getting 8.5 on the spread at around -104.

The Lions will hold South Africa to within 8.5 and I will be betting a sum that reflects my confidence.

Mike you think the Lions will win the tour championship?

I don't think they'll win the three match series but I do like them in this first game.

They go into it unbeaten in six(albeit against inferior opposition) and the first game is always the one the books misread because they have no head-to-head form to go on. I'm amazed it's +8.5 for the Lions and i've already lumped on.
