British and Irish Lions
For the Great Britain Lions rugby league football team of similar title, see
Great Britain national rugby league team The British and Irish Lions (until 2001 known as the British Isles Rugby Union Team or more colloquially the British Lions)
rugby union side comprises a pick of the best players from
England,
Scotland,
Ireland and
Wales. Rugby union circles refer to these four international Rugby Unions collectively as the "
Home Nations" and therefore sometimes refer to the Lions team as a "Home Nations" team. Lions selectors can also draft uncapped players available to one of the four home unions, but
in recent years this has rarely occurred.
