Fully updated to contain Sir Ian McGeechan's reflections on the
2017 Lions tour to New Zealand. 2017 saw the latest contest between
the British Lions and New Zealand - the ultimate rugby clash
between the northern and southern hemisphere. Ian McGeechan is the
'Ultimate Lion', and no one could have done more than McGeechan to
promote the magic of the Lions. McGeechan played for the Lions in
their unbeaten 1974 tour of South Africa, and again in the 1977
tour of New Zealand. Subsequently he has been the head coach on
four Lions tours. In this unique and fascinating book which
celebrates the immensity of rugby at the top level, Ian McGeechan
uses his own coaching notes to provide his special insight and
background into what it means to be a Lion. By looking at various
themes such as selection, how to create the right environment and
how to build the players into what he describes as 'Test-match
animals' the reader learns how some of the most successful Lions
tours in history were built. Writing always with passion for his
various themes it is easy to see how he inspired his players to
extraordinary physical endeavour. Rich in anecdote as well as
facts, McGeechan brings to life many of the rugby legends with whom
he played or coached - including Gareth Edwards, Gavin Hastings,
Martin Johnson and Paul O'Connell amongst others. Hugely readable
The Lions: When the Going Gets Tough splendidly conveys the massive
excitement that is generated whenever there is a Lions tour.
