British and Irish Lions: Players to have names on jerseys for first time

Advertisements

England have had player names on the backs of shirts since the Autumn Nations series of 2022, with Scotland quick to follow suit.

Ireland waited until a World Cup warm-up fixture against Italy in 2023, but by the time of the 2024 Six Nations all sides in the competition were doing so.

While the change to player jerseys will be one significant first for the tour to Australia, another will not be golden-point extra time.

Rugby Australia had suggested the sudden-death method to avoid a repeat of the Lions’ 2017 series draw against New Zealand.

But despite Australia’s preference for a golden point tie-breaker, it is understood the concept has been rejected by the Lions. It means any Test level after 80 minutes will end as a draw.
