The British and Irish Lions' unbeaten tour of South Africa in 1974. Highlights of the four test matches, with analysis, commentary and an interview with Lions legend Gareth Edwards.
junkman - aptly named - You are talking junk . You obviously don't know your rugby. . Welsh, Scots, English and Irish players alike will all tell you that to play for the Lions is the ultimate honour for a player in rugby union. Keep your politics to yersel.
Still think Edwards was the best scrumhalf I've ever seen. Interestingly, John Reason, in his book about the 74 tour didn't rate this side as the equal of the 71 Lions and the 70/71 Welsh teams, which had better backlines overall, and a more expansive vision. Still, you wouldn't want to come up against that pack, complemented with Edwards and Bennett and JPR.
Marvellous footage - bless you for a brilliant upload!

Watching it again you have to wonder if McCallum ever thought later 'man, I wish I'd never put that kick through (to Bennett) at Loftus. LOL.
