Comments

  

Last month we featured the first in a series that will lead up to what is arguably the most anticipated rugby event of the year, the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia.

Each month HSBC will be bringing you updates and features as the excitement builds ahead of what some are calling a must win tour for the Lions, having not won a series since 1997.

In this month's Lions Monthly: 

- Warren Gatland interview in Australia following the Lions Coaching Team announcement
- Former Wallaby utility back Joe Roff reminiscing about the 2001 Lions tour
- Behind-the-scenes Total Rugby chat with Brian O’Driscoll, including some Gavin Henson 'secrets'
- Jason Robinson teaching young people from the Prince’s Trust the benefits of playing rugby

Has your ideal Lions XV selection changed following the opening round of the Six Nations?

    How cool is Brian O'Driscoll? His little chats in that car have been easily the best parts of both of these Lions Monthly videos so far.

    Hmmmm, when Garland talks about an inform 34 35 yr old could he be talking about BoD?

    6 - Ferris/Lydiate
    7 - Armitage

    13 - Tuilagi
    14 - Bowe
    15 - Kearney

    16 - Hartley

    I'd like to see Croft get some more game time and Lawes to start a few. O'Brien is another I'd like to see continue his current form! Banging first round of the Six Nations!
