THIS TIME NEXT year (all going according to plan) the Lions tour of South Africa will be two matches old, ripening and maturing into the sugary-sweet friendships-that-last-a-lifetime phase with Test matches against the World Champions to be built towards.
It’s a tradition like no other, to borrow a phrase some another sporting event that takes itself a touch too seriously. And because there is over a century of Lions tours to look back on, we’ll keep this quiz to the most modern tours – those people may have actually watched unfold live rather than learn about on the newsreel at the pictures or on a beloved VHS tape years later.
So, extend a hand across the Irish sea to grab a roomie and dip yourself elbow deep into the great history of 21st century British and Irish Lions Test matches (none of your dirt-track midweek and warm-up matches feature here. Tests v South Africa, Australia and New Zealand only).
