The Lions head coach will kick-off the opening weekend of the November international window with a trip to Dublin to see Ireland face the Springboks on Saturday and will then fly to Edinburgh to catch Scotland's game against the world champion All Blacks.

The following weekend he will be at Twickenham to see England host the Australians before he gets back into a track suit to take charge of Wales for their two Tests against New Zealand and Australia.

It promises to be a busy month for coaches and players alike and it you fancy watching the action with them, here's a list of all the major internationals taking place in November and December.
