Match issued Test jersey, signed and worn by Rory Sutherland 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.

Prop Rory Sutherland was selected for his first British & Irish Lions Tour to South Africa this summer, a rich reward for returning to his best after a long-term injury.

Sutherland made his Scotland debut against Ireland in the 2016 Six Nations but a serious abductor muscle injury ruled him out of forcing his way into the 2017 Lions squad. Sutherland’s return to form was gradual and he did not get back into the Scotland squad until the 2020 Six Nations, four years on from his last cap. However, since then he has been one of the Championship’s leading loosehead props and is a mainstay of Scotland’s pack.

Sutherland’s impact has been massive, helping Scotland to power their way past Wales in the 2020 Championship, while he also featured in famous away wins at England and France in 2021.

Before his 2016 injury, Sutherland’s career had been on a steep upwards trajectory. A back-rower at age group level before making the switch to loosehead, Sutherland was an unheralded prospect when Edinburgh handed him a contract in 2015. From there though, he progressed to the Scotland squad within 12 months and after a long delay due to injury, he is back on that trajectory.

The Lions Test jersey is a super-slim jersey designed for players to wear during the heat of battle, featuring a huge amount of innovation and technology and using very best sustainable performance fabrics.

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