The Prize

Match issued Test jersey, signed and worn by Justin Tipuric 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.

Selected for three Lions Tours, Tipuric has established himself as one of Wales’ most complete flankers. Combining the skills and pace of a three-quarter with the work rate and breakdown nous of the world’s best back-rowers, Justin has it all.

A star for Wales at age-group level and with the Wales Sevens set-up, he got his chance at senior level in 2011. For much of his early career, he battled Lions skipper Sam Warburton for Wales’ No.7 jersey, while the two famously combined in 2013 to help Wales claim the Six Nations title on the final day. Later that year he was part of the victorious Lions squad in Australia, earning a spot on the bench in the third Test. His entry to the fray in the 55th minute coincided with a Lions blitz of three second-half tries that sealed a historic Series win. Four years later, he was called up for the New Zealand Tour, making five appearances.

He played every minute of Wales' title-winning 2021 Six Nations campaign and started four games in the 2019 Grand Slam. Inbetween, he scored a stunning try against England in the 2020 Championship, while he was a key figure in Wales’ run to the semi-finals of the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Justin sustained a Tour-ending shoulder injury during the Lions 28-10 win over Japan at BT Murrayfield Stadium for The Vodafone Lions 1888 Cup, a day before the squad's departure for the 2021 South Africa Tour.

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