The Prize

Match issued Test jersey, signed and worn by Jack Conan 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 powerful force in the Leinster and Ireland back row since bursting on the scene in 2014/2015, Jack Conan is now touring with The British & Irish Lions for the first time in South Africa.

Much has been expected of Conan from a young age after representing Ireland at U18, U19 and U20 level before being selected for the Irish Wolfhounds in January 2015. Having been one of two uncapped players in the extended Six Nations squad, his senior Ireland debut followed in August 2015 in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match against Scotland. Ankle, foot and wrist injuries have stymied his progress at various junctures since, with Conan only making eight appearances for Leinster in the 2015/16 season.

The following two seasons proved far more productive and Conan featured regularly for his club as Leinster won the PRO14 and European double in 2017/18. He also featured on Ireland’s successful tour to Australia in June 2018 after making two appearances for his country in that year’s Six Nations Grand Slam triumph.

While 2019/20 proved to be another year hampered by injury, Conan has been part of a further three PRO14 title successes with Leinster as he surpassed 100 provincial caps. He also scored the only try in the 2021 PRO14 Grand Final victory over Munster, earning the Player of the Match accolade for his performance.

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