Lions Tour 2009

British & Irish Lions Tour of South Africa 2009: 30th May – 4th July

The British and Irish Lions are a touring representative side featuring the best rugby union players from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Lions come together once every four years to tour New Zealand, South Africa and Australia in rotation. Traditionally the British and Irish Lions do not play any matches on home soil as they are a touring team, however exceptions have been made in the past for special occasions although these matches do not result in Lions caps being awarded.

The tour this year will be to South Africa.

Regular tour games will be on the Setanta Sports channel with the three tests LIVE on Setanta Premium and residential Pay Per View, to be aired 48 hours later on the channel.
