Excellent history of the British Lions

David Harvey from Lurgan, Northern Ireland, 7th July, 2004

Having seen a lot of Lions documentaries based on the last two tours to South Africa and Australia, I was very excited to receive this DVD. On watching it I wasnt disappointed.

This DVD is chock full of great interviews with, and anecdotes from, some of the finest players to grace the British and World game. While actual action from the tests is sometimes a little sparse, the main and significant highlights, the great tries and the controversy (Slattery's was-it-wasn't-it try) are all there.

I recommend this DVD as a MUST for any rugby fan, and a great watch for any sports fan in general.
