Robbie Henshaw is aiming to nail down a test jersey for the Lions.
The Athlone back had his tour cut short four years ago through injury but is hopeful of better luck this time around.
His preparations continue this weekend in Leinster's Rainbow cup clash with Ulster.
Henshaw isn't letting himself think to far ahead:
It's been confirmed that the tour of South Africa will be held behind closed doors, with no fans from Ireland or the UK permitted to travel.
A revised schedule has been issued, with all matches in Cape Town, Johannesburg, or Pretoria.
The warm-up game against Japan at Murrayfield will still proceed as planned on Saturday 26th June.
