'A rollicking read and a mighty achievement' - Donald McRae, The
Guardian 'Magnificent' - Owen Slot, The Times The 1997 British
& Irish Lions tour to South Africa is one of the most iconic in
rugby history. Written off at home and abroad, Martin Johnson's men
were given no hope of success against the world champion Springboks
in their own backyard. But a combination of brilliant coaching,
astute selections and outstanding players laid the foundations for
the touring side's outstanding attacking mindset and brutal
stonewall defence. On the other side was a team expected to stamp
their authority on the tourists and confirm their place as the best
side on the planet. But with political, racial and economic
scandals swirling around the Springbok camp, plus a rookie coach
parachuted into office just before the tour began, the hosts were
under huge pressure. In a Test series that will go down in legend
as one of the most compelling of all time, the sides could barely
be separated. This is the inside story from both camps as they
battle for supremacy, lifting the lid like never before as a huge
cast of characters look back on those extraordinary weeks and the
impact it had on their lives and careers thereafter. Hilarious,
insightful and spine-chilling, Tom English and Peter Burns provide
the perfect read for all Lions fans.
