The Lions most recent series was played in June 2009, against South Africa, where they lost 2-1. The Lions are due to tour Australia, also, in 2013. The Lions generally compete against the stronger Rugby Union nations, which does ensure interest remains high. The Lions have a rich history, which dates back into the 1800’s and, as a result, you will find betting on the Lions tours available on almost any betting website.
