British and Irish Lions

The British and Irish Lions is a rugby union team comprising the best players from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Every four years, they come together for a tour to a Southern Hemisphere nation—such as Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa—playing a series of matches, including a multi-test series against the host country's national team. The Lions symbolize union and excellence across these four nations, celebrating shared rugby heritage and showcasing top talent on the world stage. The tours foster camaraderie among players and fans, creating a unique and historic aspect of international rugby.
