Description: A special ‘Inside the Tour' online event, in partnership with the MyName5Doddie Foundation.

In this bonus podcast episode we tie the threads from those epic days of 1997 with the current 2021 British and Irish Lions Tour, in the company of an unparalleled panel of rugby royalty.

Ahead of the pivotal Second Test in Cape Town, we bring together four legendary Lions to reflect on that famous tour 24 years ago and run the rule over Warren Gatland’s current crop attempting to topple the Springboks in South Africa."

Guest list:

Doddie Weir OBE: Former Scotland and British Lions lock forward, and founder of the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, raising awareness and funds to find a cure for MND.

Sam Warburton: Two-time British Lions captain, unbeaten in both those series (in Australia 2013 and NZ 2017)

Gregor Townsend: Former Scotland & British Lions fly half, and current Attack Coach for the 2021 Lions Tour. Also the starting fly-half for the 1997 Lions tour of SA.
