QUIZ: England, Ireland and France's tour history in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand

By Michael Cantillon

June is upon us and so are rugby's summer tours to the southern hemisphere! 

This year, England travel to South Africa for a three-Test series, while Ireland are in Australia and France are in New Zealand for three-Test tours too.

All nine games are live on Sky Sports Action and Main Event over the next three weekends, starting from this Saturday.

We've looked into classic games between England and South Africa, Ireland and Australia, and France v New Zealand. We've chatted to former England skippers John Pullin, Will Carling and Martin Johnson on what it takes to beat the Boks. We've heard from Stuart Barnes out in South Africa.

We've previewed the games to come this weekend at Ellis Park, Eden Park and Suncorp Stadium, and we've given you the chance to select your combined England/South Africa XV.
