SINCE 1974 and that wonderful tour of South Africa I have followed the British and Irish Lions intensely and was lucky enough to write a book about them with my colleague and friend Jeff Connor.
No book can ever capture the reality of what it’s like to be on a Lions tour, however, though one of the best sources of information for the tours has been the now traditional documentary that follows the Lions on tour, a tradition that started in 1997 with Jim Telfer making that inspirational ‘Everest’ speech in South Africa.
