Lions in South Africa 1997 - Part Two

[mcs1hr]

I was there, my first Lions tour and first Lions game as a supporter. I will never forget watching Matt Dawson's no.9 shirt disappearing down the right touchline to score in the corner. Apologies to the Welsh bloke I pushed over the seat in front of me while celebrating. That was quite a night to be a Lions fan in Capetown. bring on the Aussies in two years time.

VdW and DuRandt. Fair play.

[doylustheboy]

ryko26 - yep, ditto both comments, Os du Randt vs Gibbs still makes me laugh all these years later.......

[GodSaveOurTeam]

A great composite Lions team - few stars, but great combinations: the Wood-Wallace-Smith front row; Dawson & Townsend; Guscott & Gibbs etc. All the home nations well represented.

There's been 2 rememberable match winning drop goals from englishmen, this is the only good one.

Scott Gibbs' nickname: Car Crash.

[SD78]

Scott Gibbs was a human wrecking machine.

[jsbach40]

SA always give a good game. THey are a class side and even though I'm a die-hard Lions fan for me SA are a truly brilliant side to watch.

[mndpsp1]

@AucklandRulez the lions tour, in my opinion, is the best tour ever! beats everything else.

[LastWhiteRhino]

[Raichu234]

[ryko26]

Scott Gibbs - what a player (and I'm English)!!!!

[jonathan7176]

And the Lions need some try scorers. Come on little Shane.

[scrubmacdub]

lesson learned for the boks - we need to pick a good kicker! morne steyn is the man

[mnnh1]

Thats been self-evident for some time now. Questionable coach, I suppose.
