In June and July 2013 The British and Irish Lions make their return to the majestic shores of Australia to take on the hosting national team, the Wallabies in a 3 test and 7 exhibition match tour. Every four years the four home rugby nations of England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland gather their best internationals and put them all together in the hope of defeating another rugby powerhouse. The Lions haven't fared so well in recent years as they have dropped the last 3 tours including 2009 South Africa, 2005 New Zealand and their last trip to Australia in 2001. In 2013 a young and motivated Lions Team is sure to be looking to right the ship against the reigning Rugby World Cup 3^rd place finishers.
