Today's the day. At 12.30PM BST, Ian McGeechan will unveil the British & Irish Lions test team for the 1st encounter with the Springboks this Saturday in Durban.

We'll have the team announcement as soon as it is available and will be dissecting it in detail. For the players, the waiting is already over. They hear the selection at training this morning so it's only us who have to wait now! The Springboks have already named their team and we'll be looking at some of the key match-ups, the possible areas of superiority for both teams and the tactical gameplans likely sitting in the coaches thoughts.

Keep checking back, we'll keep you posted!
