British Lions would have been short hand for British Isles Lions. I think most people in the UK of Scottish, English or Welsh descent will still refer to them as the British Lions even if Lions are synonymous with England.


To answer the question of what they should otherwise have been called, I'd say, HSBC Lions... or whoever is willing to sponsor ;-)

Which black England winger scored a hat trick of tries against Ireland in a match where supposedly Swing Low Sweet Chariot was heard at Twickenham for the first time. I have to say I was there and don't remember it but that's not surprising given the result! Naturally I'm hoping for something different today.

    • I've lost my AirPods case with an engraving of a cat on them! They fell out of my pocket as I was cycling at about 8:45am this morning 28/11/25 - I set off by the school at the junction between Amott Road and Adys Road, but they could have fallen out anywhere along Adys Road, on to Bellenden Road. I still have my actual AirPods - it's just an empty case. Please let me know if anyone finds them!
