Playing for the Lions is considered the highest honour in the game for British and Irish players, higher even than playing for your country.
It is also a huge occasion for those who play against the Lions since they only get one chance to play against the Lions every twelve years.
On the Lions tour there are midweek games against local clubs as well as the full tests against the host's national team.
There is always tension between those selected for the tests and those who turn out only for the midweek games.
