Lions Preview Ready to Roar ON SALE NOW

Get your hands on this special preview of the British and Irish Lions' Tour of Australia

Once every four years something very special happens in Rugby Union - a Lions tour!

To get you in the mood, this special edition, in-depth preview of the tour has been produced - Ready to Roar!

And the 2025 edition is a mouthwatering prospect as Andy Farrell takes his team Down Under to face the Aussies.

From the stunning wins over New Zealand and South Africa in the 1970s, to the famous Martin Johnson-lead triumph over the Boks in 1997 and up to the modern day drama-packed tours against the Kiwis, a Lions series is never dull.

Last time out, the Lions suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of South Africa, but they will be heading to Australia this time looking to repeat the 2-1 victory they enjoyed there in 2013 under the leadership of Warren Gatland.

We have features on head coach Farrell, captain Maro Itoje youngster Henry Pollock, Marcus Smith, Jac Morgan, Sione Tuipolutu and Mack Hansen.

Every member of the squad is profiled, we take a look at the Aussies and the battle between the coaches.

There is a guide to the venues and the tour matches as well as a look back at previous tours, and some of the greatest Lions.

Ready to Roar will be on sale in participating retailers from June 11 2025. You can buy it online here. Online postage and packaging costs apply.
