British Lions 2005 Bibliography.

In 2005, the British and Irish Lions rugby union team toured New Zealand for the first time since 1993, playing 7 matches against first and second division teams from the National Provincial Championship, 1 match against the New Zealand Maori team, and 3 test matches against New Zealand.

The Lions lost the test series 3-0, the first time in 22 years that they lost every test match on tour. The team was managed by former England and Lions player Bill Beaumont, coached by former England coach Sir Clive Woodward, and originally captained by Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll. O'Driscoll suffered a controversial tour-ending injury two minutes into the first test, and Wales captain Gareth Thomas took over as captain for the final four games of the tour. The poor test results of the 2005 Lions, despite having one of the most experienced playing squads and the largest management team of any Lions tour, led to criticism of Woodward, particularly his selection policy, and prompted commentators to question the future of the Lions.

The 44-man tour squad was announced on 11 April 2005, with 20 Englishmen, 11 Irishmen, 10 Welshmen and three Scots selected. Three further Englishmen were selected subject to them proving their fitness. The squad also included English players who had retired from international rugby,Neil Back, Lawrence Dallaglio and players returning from injury, including Richard Hill, Jonny Wilkinson, Phil Vickery and Mike Tindall, or had no international experience in Andrew Sheridan.

The original 44-man squad was named as:

John Hayes, Prop, Gethin Jenkins, Prop, Graham Rowntree,Prop, Andrew Sheridan, Prop, Matt Stevens, Prop, Julian White, Prop, Gordon Bulloch, Hooker, Shane Byrne, Hooker, Steve Thompson, Hooker, Andy Titterrell, Hooker, Danny Grewcock, Lock, Ben Kay, Lock, Donncha O'Callaghan, Lock, Paul O'Connell, Lock, Malcolm O'Kelly, Lock, Neil Back, Back row, Martin Corry, Back row, Lawrence Dallaglio, Back row, Richard Hill, Back row, Lewis Moody Back Row, Michael Owen, Back row, Simon Taylor, Back row, Martyn Williams,Back row, Iain Balshaw, Fullback, Geordan Murphy, Fullback, Josh Lewsey, Fullback, Gareth Thomas, Fullback, Shane Horgan Wing, Denis Hickie Wing, Jason Robinson, Wing, Shane Williams, Wing, Gordon D'Arcy, Centre, Will Greenwood, Centre, Gavin Henson, Centre, Brian O'Driscoll, Centre, Tom Shanklin, Centre, Ollie Smith, Centre, Charlie Hodgson Fly-half, Stephen Jones, Fly-half, Ronan O'Gara, Fly-half, Gareth Cooper, Scrum-half, Chris Cusiter Scrum-half, Matt Dawson Scrum-half, Dwayne Peel Scrum Half.
