The British and Irish Lions rugby union side is selected using the best players from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The first recorded combined side toured the Southern Hemisphere in 1888, with the first selected by a committee from the four nations touring South Africa in 1910.
The British and Irish Lions do not have a home venue as they are a touring side and apart from the occasional warm up game play all their games away from the British Isles. The side tour every 4 years with the next scheduled to be 2009 when they visit South Africa. The side has to-date played in Argentina, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, with the last tour in 2005 a mauling by the All Blacks in New Zealand.
British and Irish Lions Jerseys
The Lions wear a strip of red shirts, white shorts and green and blue socks, these colours represent all the countries that make up the team. The red shirt has been worn by all the great names in British and Irish rugby and it is next to impossible to single out a few names to mention here.
History of the Lions
The Lions have a chequered history of results as it is always very difficult to bring a mix of playing styles together and have them gel quickly enough to compete at the top level, this has led to considerable success against Club and Regional sides but few wins against National. Trips of note are 1955 drawn series South Africa, 1959 series win in Australia, 1970 series win against the All Blacks, 1974 series win in South Africa, 1989 2-1 series win in Australia and 1997 2-1 series win in South Africa. There is no doubt that future wins will be extremely difficult as we are now in the professional era and National teams are better prepared than ever before. The Lions however continue to attract ever more travelling supporters.
