2005 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand

In 2005 the British and Irish Lions Rugby union team toured New Zealand for the first time since 1993, suffering a 3-0 whitewash at the hands of the New Zealand All Blacks. For the Lions, having toured Australia in 2001 and South Africa in 1997, it was the first time for 22 years they lost every test match on tour.

Management

There were 26 back room staff. After problems with the midweek team feeling disillusioned in 2001, the midweek team got their own coaches.
