The 1908 British Isles tour to New Zealand and Australia was the seventh tour by a British Isles team and the fourth to New Zealand and Australia. The tour is often referred to as the Anglo-Welsh Tour as only English and Welsh players were selected due to the Irish and Scottish Rugby Unions not participating. It is retrospectively classed as one of the British Lions tours, as the Lions naming convention was not adopted until 1950. rdf:langString
Die Tour der British Lions nach Neuseeland und Australien 1908 war eine Rugby-Union-Tour der als British Isles bezeichneten Auswahlmannschaft (der heutigen British and Irish Lions). Sie reiste von Mai bis September 1908 nach Neuseeland und Australien. Während dieser Zeit bestritten die Briten 27 Spiele, davon 18 in Neuseeland und neun in Australien. Eine alternative Bezeichnung für die Tour ist Anglo-Welsh Tour, da lediglich englische und walisische Spieler der Mannschaft angehörten, aber keine Iren oder Schotten. In den 24 Begegnungen mit regionalen Auswahlteams mussten die Briten sieben Niederlagen hinnehmen. Es standen drei Test Matches gegen die neuseeländische Nationalmannschaft auf dem Programm, wobei nur ein Unentschieden gelang. rdf:langString

rdf:langString The 1908 British Isles tour to New Zealand and Australia was the seventh tour by a British Isles team and the fourth to New Zealand and Australia. The tour is often referred to as the Anglo-Welsh Tour as only English and Welsh players were selected due to the Irish and Scottish Rugby Unions not participating. It is retrospectively classed as one of the British Lions tours, as the Lions naming convention was not adopted until 1950. Led by Arthur 'Boxer' Harding and managed by George Harnett the tour took in 26 matches, 9 in Australia and 17 in New Zealand. Of the 26 games, 23 were against club or invitational teams and three were test matches against the All Blacks. The Lions lost two and drew one match against the All Blacks. The tour was not received well in Wales, as the Welsh players selected were chosen exclusively from those players from a well-educated and professional-class background. The selection was in fact addressed by the Welsh Rugby Union who stated that when a British Isles team was mooted for a South Africa tour in 1910, that the players should be chosen '...irrespective of the social position of the players.' Regarding the Lions uniform, 1908 brought a change of format and a change of colours. With the Scottish and Irish unions declining to be involved, red jerseys with a thick white band reflected the combination of England and Wales. Shorts were dark blue with red socks.

In Wales stieß die Tour auf wenig Gegenliebe, da ausschließlich Spieler aus gehobenen Schichten ausgewählt worden waren. Die Welsh Rugby Union verweigerte die offizielle Unterstützung und erklärte, in Zukunft sollten die Spieler „unabhängig von ihrer sozialen Stellung ausgewählt“ werden.

In realtà la scissione era ormai decisa, visto che saranno i Team del Queensland a lasciare il rugby a 15, dopo che già avevano rifiutato di formare una squadra nazionale unica con il Nuovo Galles del Sud.
