So glad to see this put up as that little interlude from Johnson is perhaps my favourite part of the entire documentary. Yes, Johnno, indeed they will. All of them.

What a group of leaders there, immense!

The beat bit is Neil Jenkins out of sight retching

Is that Richard Hill, Dallaglio and Rodper? Jeez that’s a back row. Someone’s going to get utterly smashed.

Jerry Guscott looking gorgeous as ever, but god didn't he know it

I was 13 at the time brings back chills , epic tour and unbelievable what the Lions done against the world champions .

Effing great Lions team in97, so many leaders

A team full of leaders

Best sports documentary I've ever seen

Spine tingling.

I would follow johnson &woody over the top

Intense

What I find astonishing about this is that it is exactly how village teams prepare to go out against their local rivals, I'm surprised they don't finish with running on the spot counting to ten... I would have thought at Lions level it would at least be a bit more tactical/analytical. I don't mean this in a derogatory way, I love the fact that they are like 'normal' rugby players, although I never quite got into the "psyching-up just before a game" stuff... I remember one game when we were in the changing room beforehand and our second row was shouting at our captain "Motivate me!!!" ... Hang on, you've had since the team was announced, probably 2-3 days beforehand, to prepare for the game. You're obviously physically fit and good enough at rugby to get picked, you know it probably entails getting the crap knocked out of you... what do you want me to tell you that will prepare you better for the next 80 minutes? And anyway, it's the last 20 minutes of a match you need to get psyched up for.

They are elite level rugby players with the very best coaching. They have drilled and drilled and drilled everything a million times before this moment and spoke tactics until falling asleep. There’s no need to go over it all last minute before taking the pitch they all know exactly what is needed and what the strategy is. This is before taking battle and getting ready. If you’ve been at any level of the sport beyond village teams that’s pretty common.

Remember this was the 1997 tour . Sports psychology wasn't what it is now back then. The likes of Keith Wood and Johnno are natural leaders not taught how to lead which is the case with many modern players.

good luck if you wanted to try subdue any of those bok back row,definately not a good idea.

Tom Smith immense in the tests.

Hear hear

I hope they won the game after that performance 😀

They lost 45 - 3……… Johnson tried to punch Teichman ,slipped and was concussed for the rest of the game. I think he was given a red card after the game once he had woken up.

whilst i love all the players here, and immensely admire the passion and commitment, i dont think this is the way to rouse yourself for a game. richie mccaw's all blakcs always focused on calmness to execute under pressure and trust that you could do this. that you would give 100% commitment in a black jersey wasn't in doubt. still, 1997 lions makes for awesome footage
