  • Beaumont captained the Lions in 1980.

    Ahead of the squad announcement, World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont tells us what it means to a player to be selected to represent the British and Irish Lions against the All Blacks.

    Does winning a Lions series come close to winning a Rugby World Cup?

    Beaumont, who played in the 1977 and 1980 Lions sides and captained during the latter tour, shares his own experiences and explains what it means to represent the team.

    You can watch Beaumont talk about representing the Lions in the video posted by World Rugby’s official YouTube channel, below.
