About this title

Synopsis

With a perfectly struck drop goal in the dying minutes of a brutal match Jeremy Guscott sealed the series win for the British Lions against the Springboks and his place in the Lions hall was secured forever. In THE LIONS DIARY Guscott takes the reader behind the scenes to describe the extraordinary highs and lows of a gruelling six week tour with honesty, humour and insight. Many pundits predicted that the 1997 Lions would buckle under the ferocity of Test Rugby in South Africa. They didn't, and that a testament to the formidable team spirit that coursed through the squad. As Guscott himself said after the epic second Test: 'I can't believe it. You've just got to soak up the atmosphere - It's a lifetime memory'
