Synopsis

Of the 108 years of touring by British rugby teams, only a fraction of games have been documented. This book explores the whole period of the British Lion's existence. It examines the origins, development and future of the Lions tours and investigates the social and political issues which have played a part in the evolution of one of the world's most formidable touring forces. It describes the post-war tours and profiles of many of the great players and strong men of the time, who tell of their feeling of fulfilment, and of the pride and the passion every British or Irish player feels on being selected as a British Lion. This celebratory volume, provides access into the workings and preparations behind every Lions tour since 1920, and includes details of the victorious 1997 tour of South Africa.
