Official Adidas British & Irish Lions rugby training shirt from the 2001 Australian test series against the Wallabies.

Condition of this original rugby jersey is 8/10 - Excellent. Wear to the sponsor. Some faint markings to the collar (see photos)

The 2001 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia was captained by Martin Johnson, who became the first and so far only man to lead the Lions on two tours. The coach was New Zealander Graham Henry. After winning the first of their matches against Australia, the Lions lost the remaining two matches of the test series.

This was the first time that Australia defeated the Lions in a series. The tour was noted for tension between the test squad and the midweek squad as well as controversial newspaper columns written by scrum-halves Matt Dawson and Austin Healey accusing the coaching staff of the poor scheduling and training regimes and lack of team spirit.
