Synopsis

Exclusive two-disc film documenting the British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa in the summer of 1997. The unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the team shows the preparations, the training, the fun, the team selection, the 'earthy' language, the bonding, the awesome task of playing and some shocking footage of injuries. Despite securing the series with wins in the first two tests, the Lions remained motivated by the prospect of a 3-0 whitewash, a feat never achieved against the Springboks throughout the century.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Mr J Ferguson Marked this as a spoiler, but if you don't know what happened by now you really do have to watch this. This is the warts and all documentary account of the historic 1997 British and Irish Lions Tour of South Africa. This defined sports documentary making for a generation. There is swearing, lots of it. And some drinking. But thats all secondary to the truth of what sporting commitment requires of its participants at the top level, and how greatness is achieved.
