Free advanced registration
We are working hard to finalise the details of our tour and hospitality packages. Due to building excitement surrounding this Test series and Sportsworld’s official appointment as an OLO, we have established a free priority registration service. Registrants will receive priority access to the official Sportsworld Lions packages along with Lions news including our Tour brochure.
The British & Irish Lions will be looking for victory again when they return to South Africa in June/July 2009. Fans will remember only too well, the triumphant Tour in 1997 when The Lions clinched a thrilling test series. The combination of The Lions taking on the current world champions and all the natural delights that South Africa has to offer will make this Tour the most exciting yet.
