The British & Irish Lions vs Queensland Reds
Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
The British Irish Lions is arguably the premier rugby tour globally, and come 2025, the finest talents from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will unite in Australia.
Spanning Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Canberra, and Adelaide, nine matches are slated in total.
The 2017 Lions Tour of New Zealand remains etched in memory as one of the most thrilling tours, with numerous unforgettable moments. Sean O’Brien’s sublime try, hailed as one of Lions’ best; Owen Farrell’s nerve-wracking 77th-minute penalty in Wellington, ending the All Blacks’ 47-game home winning streak; and the dramatic penalty in Auckland, leveling the match and series. Anticipation is high that the 2025 tour of Australia will stir similar sentiments among fortunate spectators.
With the Lions showcasing strong recent form, confidence brims for a triumphant series return. Coach Warren Gatland’s commitment to leading his third British Irish Lions tour, this time to South Africa, further boosts morale.
Gatland steered the Lions to a riveting series draw against New Zealand in 2017 and a 2-1 series victory over Australia in 2013. Now, he is poised to repeat history as the Home Nations set course to face the Springboks.
Expectations run high for thousands of fans journeying to one of rugby’s eminent nations, seeking a once-in-a-lifetime rugby spectacle. The chance to visit renowned rugby arenas worldwide and explore Australia's iconic locales awaits.
Their last series win dated back to 1997, culminating in the deciding Test match in Sydney amid one of the largest British & Irish Lions gatherings ever. The 2013 Tour to Australia stands as a cherished memory, traversing one of the globe’s most stunning countries, a testament to head coach Warren Gatland's prowess.
Returning to Australia for the first time since 2001, under the captaincy of Sam Warburton, the Lions kicked off with a triumph in Brisbane. George North’s sublime Test try further heightened the exhilaration in front of a sea of Lions supporters.
As the second Test loomed in Melbourne, Australia was awash in red, with fans immersing themselves in the splendors of the Whitsunday Islands, Cairns, the Gold Coast, Uluru, and beyond. The Wallabies clawed their way to victory, setting the stage for a final showdown in Sydney after four years of toil.
