The Prize

Match issued Test jersey, signed and worn by Gareth Davies 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.

Fresh from helping Wales secure the 2021 Guinness Six Nations title, Davies has been selected for his second consecutive British & Irish Lions Tour.

His selection for the squad to take on the world champions will see Davies return to the scene of his international debut, coming on as a replacement against the Springboks in 2014. Starting all five matches, Davies went on to finish as one of the top try-scorers in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, with five in five games as Wales made it to the quarter-finals.

Davies finished the 2013/14 RaboDirect PRO12 season in the league Dream Team as well as the top try-scorer and has since made over 200 appearances for the region. He started four of Wales’ games in the 2016 Six Nations, scoring tries against Scotland and Italy, while he also started and scored a try in that autumn's win over Argentina. Davies finished the 2017 Six Nations in impressive form and scored tries in the both the Guinness PRO12 semi-final and final for the Scarlets. That earned him a call-up for the Lions midway through the 2017 Tour.

Following the Tour, Davies played in all five games as Wales won the 2019 Grand Slam and helped his country reach the Rugby World Cup semi-final in Japan. He also played in all five games, starting three, as Wales reclaimed the Six Nations title in 2021, earning him another Lions call-up.
