2013 British & Irish Lions Tour Itinerary
The British & Irish Lions have announced an amendment to the match itinerary for the tour to Australia in 2013. The change has been agreed between the ARU and the British & Irish Lions.
The Lions match against a Combined Country XV was originally scheduled to be played at Hunter Stadium, Newcastle on Wednesday June 12. However, the match has been re-scheduled to bring it into line with the midweek matches that will follow over the ensuing two weeks leading into the First and Second Test.
Therefore the British & Irish Lions versus Combined Country fixture will take place one day earlier on Tuesday, June 11, at Hunter Stadium.
