The inside story of The British and Irish Lions on their most famous tour; to South Africa in 1997.

The British and Irish Lions’ tour to South Africa in 1997 has gone down in sporting folklore. With few giving them a chance, a disparate group of characters bonded into a band of brothers to upset the reigning World Champions, inspired by a coaching team seen by many in rugby as the greatest of all time. This is the inside story of that tour; told by those who were there.

Episode One

Title: The Selection.

Description: Money’s got Stash, Healey wants Cash.

In the days before prevalent mobile phones, tour call-ups were made by snail-mail. Stand by for some hilarious stories of how the ’97 Lions heard about selection. Then, on meeting their fellow tourists at the team hotel in Weybridge, there were strangers to meet, ’stash’ to collect and a random film crew nobody knew anything about…

Featuring Austin Healey, Will Greenwood and John Bentley. Contains swearing.
