The British and Irish Lions are a touring team and tours one of the Southern Hemisphere sides every four years. The last tour was in 2009 when they played (and lost to) South Africa. They will tour Australia in 2013, and New Zealand in 2017. The British and Irish Lions has also played at home, in the Millennium Stadium, against Argentina - which they drew. They have also played Fiji on the end of another tour.

Up until the 26th of April 2010 the record for most consecutive wins by any international team in Test Rugby was held by the All-Blacks from New Zealand and The Springboks from South Africa, which was 17. This record was eclipsed on the 26th by Lithuania, when they recorded their 18th win in a row when they wrote their name into Rugby's history books after beating Serbia 77-5 on Saturday to record an 18th consecutive Test victory and surpass the previous record in the men's Game held by New Zealand and South Africa.

Lithuania's run began on May 27, 2006 with a 23-17 away win over Hungary in Esztergom and has as of this answer seen them beat 12 different countries across Europe.

As part of the "pack" The eight forwards in union and 6 in league the hooker binds on (catches around) the prop forwards either side of them and in a scrummage their role is to "hook" back the ball as it is placed in the tunnel by the scrumhalf - This is where the term hooker comes from. IN the line out in Union only, the hooker will be given a call code by the lineout co-ordinator, normally a second row. The call is a code to where to throw the ball so that a jumper can catch the ball and gain advantage. In Rugby league the hooker acts as the "dummy player" Their role is to take a ball from the footback (a play where the tackled ball carrier places the ball to their feet and roles the ball back to the hooker) The ball then is passed in to play.

The game was very well supported from the 1900's as it was played not be the well to do but in majority by mining villages across the south of the country

The war saw the game become little used as many of the men were away fighting. However, in the late 1950's the game again became popular as the mines began to lose their Bevan Boys and have them replaced by the men home from the war. The 1950's also saw National Service. Many of the young men called up for service were encouraged to play sports and for many of the Welsh it was Rugby or Soccer.

In the late 1960s the game started to be seen more on television especially internationals so more began to visit the then amateur grounds and clubs like working men's clubs sprang up. This opened more opportunities for potential plays as schools brought the game on board as part of the physical education curriculum.

In the 1970s the world of welsh rugby exploded as the international team seemed to be invincible winning 97% of their games and even the world renown All Blacks feared the men in the red shirts. It was in the 70's that a young entertainer called Max Boyce toured many of the Vallies clubs signing songs of the success of welsh rugby and and the down turn in the mining communities. From this era songs such as Hymns and Arias and 9-3 became a vital part of any rugby after match social.
