Description
The 1997 British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa is one of the most iconic in rugby history. Written off at home and abroad, Martin Johnson’s men were given no hope of success against the world champion Springboks in their own back yard. But a combination of brilliant coaching, astute selections and outstanding players laid the foundations for the touring side’s outstanding attacking mindset and brutal stonewall defence. On the other side was a team expected to stamp their authority on the tourists and confirm their place as the best side in the world. But with political, racial and economic scandals swirling around the Springbok camp, plus a rookie coach parachuted into place just before the tour began, the hosts were under huge pressure. This is the inside story from both camps as they battle for supremacy, lifting the lid like never before.
