It’s almost June – you know what that means…The British & Irish Lions 2017 Tour!
Here we have everything you need to know so you won’t miss a fixture. They are all on Sky Sports – but don’t fret, if it’s too early to get down to a pub where they’re showing the games live, get yourselves a Now TV Sky Sports pass – we’d suggest a month pass for £33.99 (that works out at just over £3.75 per Lions Tour game – but just look at all the other Rugby Union matches you’ll be able to enjoy throughout that month besides: http://www.skysports.com/watch/rugby-union-on-sky ) plus you’ll have to buy an additional day pass as the tour spans longer than a month – and you don’t want to miss the big one on the 8th July – should it be the decider!
Here’s the links to Now TV ‘s month pass: https://signup.nowtv.com/single?productId=SPORTS_SUBSCRIPTION_MONTH&returnUrl=http:%2F%2Fwww.nowtv.com%2Fsportsboxmonth&voucherCode=AANOWBWMATHO&partnerId=sportentsmonth
If you’re a new customer – look out for some discount codes. You’ll need to download the Now TV app on to be able to watch – available from the app store: http://www.nowtv.com/devices
You can buy your pass in advance – it only starts as soon as you ‘tune in’ so play it safe and wait for the 3rd June to activate – this will see you through to the 3rd July – like we mentioned you’ll need an additional day pass to watch the All Blacks v Lions on July 8th.
