How much does a player earn for playing in the British and Irish Lions rugby team?
The British and Irish Lions squad players are to be paid £38,000 each for taking part in the tour and if they can repeat the 1997 series win over South Africa they will receive an extra £350,000 bonus to be split equally between all of the players on the trip. So they could bank £1.7million if they win all three Test matches in South Africa 2009.
