A true Lions legend. The great Ronnie Dawson, captain of the Lions on our 1959 Tour, has passed away at the age of 92. Dawson captained the Lions for all six Tests during a Tour that included 33 fixtures in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. As well as a formidable career for both Leinster and Ireland, Dawson was an assistant manager and coach during our 1968 Tour and went on to become a leading administrator in rugby. He was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame in 2013. Ronnie was a giant of the sport who will be sadly missed.

At risk of stating the obvious, the players are absolutely central to everything that makes The British & Irish Lions so special. This is why I’m so pleased that we’ve been able to create a model that sees us working together in partnership. For the first time ever, players selected for the 2025 Tour to Australia will benefit from a profit share model. The agreement will also result in more collaboration between the Lions and the players for the benefit of all parties, both on and off the pitch. The alignment between the Lions, our shareholder Unions, the leagues and clubs and now the players themselves is really positive with all parts of the eco system incentivised to make 2025 the biggest and best ever. Thanks to all those involved in the process including Lions past and future, Player Associations and representatives from across the relevant countries and in particular Simon Keogh at Rugby Players Ireland

At The British & Irish Lions we have an excellent but small core team so harness the expertise and capacity of a wide network of agency partners to ensure we deliver to the highest standard. Integration across that network is crucial so it was great to bring together staff and agencies last week to build cohesion as we head towards 2025. Thanks to all those who attended and our excellent partner Canterbury for hosting.
