- In 1968 the British Lions toured South Africa. The tour was not successful in terms of international results, the Lions losing the Test series against South Africa by three matches to nil, with the other match drawn. The Lions won 15 of their 16 non-international matches, losing only to Transvaal. The touring party was captained by Tom Kiernan, coached by Ronnie Dawson and managed by David Brooks. Star back Barry John broke his collar bone in a dangerous tackle in the first Test. As well as South Africa, games were played against South West Africa (the future Namibia, then part of South Africa) and Rhodesia (the future Zimbabwe). Unlike the previous two tours to South Africa (1955 and 1962), this British Lions team did not stop off in Nairobi, Kenya, to play East Africa on the way home. However, one member of this tour party was later to play against that team; in 1975 Peter Stagg was living in Zambia and playing rugby for the Ndola Wanderers RFC when the Tuskers visited and he played for Zambia in their first international on 31 August 1975 at Kitwe. Six of the squad would ultimately change codes and play professional rugby league, they are; Mike Coulman, Ken Goodall, Keith Jarrett, Keri Jones, Maurice Richards, and Bryan West. (en)
- La tournée de l'équipe des Lions britanniques et irlandais de rugby à XV en 1968 se solde par un échec avec trois défaites et un match nul contre l'équipe d'Afrique du Sud. Les Lions gagnent 15 des 16 autres rencontres de la tournée (qui ne sont pas des test-matchs), s'inclinant seulement contre le Transvaal. Le capitaine de l'équipe en tournée est Tom Kiernan, l'entraîneur est Ronnie Dawson et la direction est assurée par David Brooks. En même temps que les déplacements en Afrique du Sud, des rencontres sont organisées en Afrique du Sud-Ouest (l'actuelle Namibie, alors partie intégrante de l'Afrique du Sud) et en Rhodésie (l'actuel Zimbabwe).
