What are the British and Irish Lions?

The British and Irish Lions are a composite team selected from players who are eligible to represent the national teams of England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales.[3] The Lions first toured New Zealand in 1888, but did not play against the New Zealand national team until 1904. Since then they have only won one test series against the All Blacks in 1971. The side only tours every four years and last played in New Zealand in 2005 when they lost the test series 3-0.
When does the Lions tour begin?
The 10-match British and Irish Lions tour begins on June 3 when the Lions take on the New Zealand Provincial Barbarians in Whangarei.
Thereafter there are another five matches before the first Test in Auckland on June 24.
How can I watch in Canada?
