  1. The first British rugby tour was arranged at the request of the touring English Cricket team on their return from Australia in 1877. Three team members, Shaw, Shrewsbury and Stoddard had such a good time while on tour that they thought that their fellow rugby players should also take the opportunity to travel.

    They approached the RFU who allowed the tour to proceed provided that the all-important amateur status was maintained.

    The first of these rugby tours began on 08 March 1888 when a party of mainly English players plus a few Scots and a lone Manxman set off for a nine month tour of Australia and New Zealand. Some 54 games were played, some under Aussie Rules and there were 2 losses, both at the hands of New Zealand.

    It is generally accepted that the first team consisting of representatives from all of the home nations was the touring side of 1910 to South Africa. In that year, 3 games were played with the Springboks winning 2-1.

    It was to take another 14 years before the representative team from Britain took on the identity of the Lions when, again on their tour of South Africa, the name was born from the logo worn on the team tie. Once more, South Africa claimed the series winning 3 out of 4 games, the remaining match ending in a tie.

    Lions Tours are now a well established event in the rugby calendar, taking place every four years to South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.


  2. Hehe..

    King of the jungle, o mighty and fearful..lotsa them ..

    Les c, sumthing like:

    The glowing yellow eyes, the heavy mane, that majestic walk..mostly known as the king of the jungle...

    Hope you can fill in..

  3. L....is for Large.......I ....is for Incompetent......O...is for Overweight........N....is for ......Nonwinning .....S... is for...Suckers

    Put them all together, they spell  LIONS.

    The team that bores all Rugby fans.

    ( Sung to the tune of  " Precious Memories " ).. in slow tempo

  4. One of the great rugby touring sides, picked from the very best that Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England have to offer.

  5. Which Lions? Is it the four legged ones who still reign supreme in the wilds or the ones who are getting their beards shaved off in France?

  6. A Sky TV  team full of second rate over the hill  english sky tv hyped players.

    It is more representative or a reflection of Sky tv's hyped up overpaid english  professional rugby stars - playing in the English guiness premiership - than who are the best players in Britain and Ireland.

    The last lions selection proved this beyond question.

    So in short it is simply now just a commercial or advertisement for English Rugby "Stars" sponsored by sky sports.

  7. " big cats as they are called, fierce and strong, they are feared and lebelled as, THE KINGS OF THE JUNGLE"
