The British and Irish Lions is a rugby union team selected from players eligible for any of the Home Unions and Ireland – the national sides of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Lions are a Test side, and generally select international players, but they can pick uncapped players available to any one of the four unions. The side tours every four years, with these rotating among Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The 2009 Test series was lost 2–1 to South Africa, while the 2013 Test series was won 2–1 over Australia.
From 1888 onwards combined rugby sides from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland toured the Southern Hemisphere. The first tour was a commercial venture, and was undertaken without official backing. The six subsequent visits enjoyed a growing degree of support from the authorities, before the 1910 South Africa tour, which was the first tour representative of the four Home Unions. In 1949 the four Home Unions formally created a Tours Committee and for the first time, every player of the 1950 Lions squad had played internationally before the tour. The 1950s tours saw high win rates in provincial games, but the Test series were typically lost or drawn. The winning series in 1971 (New Zealand) and 1974 (South Africa) changed this pattern. The last tour of the amateur age took place in 1993.

In this video, I have gathered all the best moments of the last British and Irish Lions Tour in South Africa that was in 2009. With some of the best players in the world like Brian O'Driscoll, Ronan O'Gara, Brian Habana, Shane Williams, Bakkies Botha, Bismarck Du Plessis, and much more! The 3-match Test series featured some of the most incredible games in Rugby history. South Africa won the first 2 games of the series and lost the third one in one of the most exciting games of rugby! I hope that you will enjoy the video and that you are ready for what will happen in July!

Think of the love that I gave you
When you're living all alone
I don't know how to behave with you
Wish you'd bury my love like a bone
And baby we can dig it out
And baby we can dig it in
But if you leave me lying here
You'll be guilty of a sin
Remember the days that we spent
Trying out a little tenderness
Now who's the lucky guy
With your hands on him and his on your dress
Remember the time that we spent
Alone in our room?
Did we create a harmony
Or just an image of this fool?
'n Mama
My life's in your hands
My life's in your hands
My life's in your hands
Now here's a big empty man
He's alive but his head's in his hands
And just like the sands of time
You can feel him going down
Just can't escape his reason and rhyme
So don't you think you won the game
His memory lives in you just the same
And I know you're thinking o' him
And you are guilty of the sin
'n Mama
My life's in your hands
My life's in your hands
My life's in your hands
My life's in your hands
Babe, my life's in your hands
Look at me, your life's in my hands
Look at you, my life's in your hands
Hey, yeahhh
'n Mama
My life's in your hands
My life's in your hands
Hey, my life's in your hands
Ooh, my life's in your hands
I believe these changing days
Have burned my love in fiery flames
