Wales Rugby Smurf vs British Lions Rugby Smurf
The Wales and British Lions Rugby Smurfs are almost identical, except the socks of Wales are red and the British Lions Smurf's socks are green. Why does the British Lions Smurf not feature amongst the Rugby Smurfs? (The British Lions toured South Africa in 1980)

 South Africa Springbok & British Lions Rugby Teams
In 1980, the British Lions Rugby Team toured South Africa. There were two Rugby Smurfs sold in South Africa by BP to coincide with the tour.
1) South African Rugby Smurf - green shirt & socks / yellow collar / white shorts 2) British Lions Rugby Smurf - red shirt / white shorts / green socks

As listed by BlueBuddies, in addition to the standard 20065 Rugby Smurf figurine with red shorts and a yellow shirt, there are eight variants to show the different team colors.
Wales Scotland England Ireland France South Africa British Lions New Zealand
In addition to the listed Team Rugby Smurfs, there is a Rugby Smurf with a dark blue shirt, white shorts and red socks. However, no team is associated with these exact colors. Although one could wonder if it could represent Italy, the socks would be blue not red (as mentioned by Squeaky). So the team remains unknown for this color variation.
 UNKNOWN TEAM dark blue shirt white shorts red socks
 TEAM SCOTLAND UNIFORM dark blue shirt with white collar & white dot white shorts dark socks
 TEAM FRANCE UNIFORM light blue shirt with white collar & red dot white shorts red socks
 TEAM ENGLAND UNIFORM white shirt with red dot white shorts black socks
 TEAM WALES UNIFORM red shirt with white collar & white dot white shorts red socks
 TEAM BRITISH LIONS UNIFORM red shirt with white collar & white dot white shorts green socks
 TEAM NEW ZEALAND UNIFORM black shirt with white collar & white dot black shorts black socks
 TEAM IRELAND UNIFORM green shirt with white collar & white dot white shorts green socks
 TEAM SOUTH AFRICA UNIFORM green shirt with gold collar & gold dot white shorts green socks
 20065 REGULAR RUGBY SMURF UNIFORM yellow shirt red shorts yellow socks
