Lions, Tigers, Sharks and Roses Jersey's reputation as a professional club has been instrumental in attracting major teams to the Island to help them prepare for upcoming matches. In June 2021, the British and Irish Lions squad visited Jersey for 10 days as they prepared for their ill-fated tour to South Africa. As well as their regular training, two open sessions were held each of which saw some 1,500 local enthusiasts watching their heroes train. This was followed by the visits of Leicester Tigers and Sale Sharks, each for a week of preseason work. Jersey Reds played both clubs on successive Fridays. They were beaten 7-17 b the Tigers and 0-19 by Sale. Finally, Eddie Jones brought his England squad to the club during October 2021 as preparation for their successful Autumn International season where they beat Tonga, Australia and South Africa. Once again, the club hosted an open training session for 1,500 fans. This trend continued in to 2022 when Leicester Tigers, London Irish and Bath Rugby all visited Jersey for training camps and all three played the Reds. While Jersey lost all three games, they were very competitive and the contests stood them in good stead for a great start to the 2022/23 season. Eddie Jones also once again brought his England squad to the Reds facilities in preparation for the 2022 Autumn International series. Demerging The Clubs Prior to the start of the 2022/23 season, the members of Jersey RFC voted to unanimously approve breaking-out the professional arm of the club. The aim was to free the old Amateur club of any incumberence professional rugby might bring and to also allow the professional team to seek new investment in to that section. RFU approval was given for the process and the emerging was enacted ahead of the 2022/23 season. The pro-squad retained the Jersey Reds name and branding while the amateur club reverted to its original name of Jersey RFC.
