The Prize

Match issued Test jersey, signed and worn by Murray for the official Lions 2021 squad headshots on player meeting day - the first time players meet ahead of the Tour and the day they wear the official kit for the very first time.

A Lions tourist in 2013 and 2017, Conor left for South Africa this summer on his third Tour - and did so as captain, in place of Alun Wyn Jones after he sustained what seemed to be a Tour-ending injury.

On the 2013 Australia Tour, he came off the bench in the second and third Tests. Having established himself as one of the most feared scrum-halves, he started all three Tests in the 2017 Tour, scoring a try in the second match, as the Lions came away from New Zealand with a famous Series draw.

Murray came through the ranks at Munster, making his debut in 2010 against Connacht before coming off the bench in the win over Australia. In 2011 he started the Guinness PRO12 final win over Leinster and made his Test debut in a Rugby World Cup warm-up against France. His first Test start came against the USA in that World Cup and he also featured in wins over Australia and Italy before starting the quarter-final defeat to Wales.

After the 2013 Lions Series win, Murray played a key role as Ireland secured Six Nations Championships in 2014 and 2015. A second Rugby World Cup quarter-final followed before he scored a try in the first-ever Irish win over the Springboks in South Africa in 2016. Another try and a first penalty at international level followed that year as Ireland beat New Zealand for the first time in Chicago. Conor started every game as Ireland won the 2018 Six Nations and achieved the Grand Slam.

Get your hands on this official Lions Test jersey; unwashed and signed, this is a special memento, complete with certificate of authenticity.

The Trust also seeks to nurture ongoing relationships with all Lions, to recognise and celebrate the contributions they have made to building the Lions legacy both on and off the field. Finally, The Lions Trust is committed to the promotion and, where appropriate, direct support of any Home Union initiative that broadens and deepens connection with the Lions and our ethos among grassroots clubs, communities and players at all levels.
