The Rest of the World XV was a rugby union team selected to play one match against the British and Irish Lions (then known only as the British Lions), and was set up to commemorate the centenary of the International Rugby Football Board (IRFB), which would shortly afterwards become the IRB or International Rugby Board. It consisted mainly of players from Australia, France, New Zealand and South Africa. They beat the British and Irish Lions 15-7 in April 1986. ==British & Irish Lions selection== The team that faced ''"The Rest"'', as they were referred to, was selected by the Four Home Unions committee which organises British and Irish Lions tours. The Lions would have toured South Africa in 1986 if the regular schedule had been kept to but in December 1985 the South African Rugby Board announced they would not be inviting the Lions side to tour South Africa the following year. Political objections to South Africa's apartheid policies including a potential boycott of the 1986 Commonwealth Games and state of emergency in South Africa at the time lay behind this decision. The squad selected for this International Rugby Board centenary was the closest thing to an official 1986 British Lions side. It was managed by Clive Rowlands and coached by Mick Doyle. The 21 players selected were issued with Lions' blazers and ties and considered to be official British Lions.
