British and Irish Lions

There are four very special jerseys and each one is a nod to a past Tour, a replica of the playing outfits of previous touring squads.

The Adidas British & Irish Lions 1888 Anniversary Jersey

The year of the earliest Lions tour, a 21-man squad, along with managers Arthur Shrewsbury and James Lillywhite, travelled through New Zealand and Australia. They won 27, drew 5 and lost only 2 of their 35 rugby union matches. They also played 19 games under Victorian Rules, making it 54 matches in 21 weeks in both codes.

The Adidas British & Irish Lions 1899 Anniversary Jersey

In 1899 the Lions played Australia for the first time in a Test match and the opening game in the four-match series was the first international Australia played. The Australians won in Sydney, but the Lions took the series 3-1.

The Adidas British & Irish Lions 1903 Anniversary Jersey

The tour to South Africa in 1903 was the fifth tour by a British Isles team and the third to that particular country. The Lions lost the Test series to the Springboks, drawing twice, but losing the decider 8-0.

The Adidas British & Irish Lions 1910 Anniversary Jersey

This tour to South Africa marked the official beginning of British and Irish rugby tours, with it being the first squad chosen by a selected committee from the four Home Unions.

In addition to these fantastic four jerseys, you can also purchase a Rhino "125 Anniversary" Rugby Ball, as well as special edition Adidas 125 Supporter Hoodies and Supporter Tees through the online store.

Assistant coach Graham Rowntree says The British & Irish Lions will have to be fully focussed to avoid a potential banana skin when they face The Barbarians a week today.

Three former British & Irish Lions will line-up against an England XV at Twickenham Stadium on Sunday as the Barbarians warm-up for their showdown with the 2013 tourists in Hong Kong next week.

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.
