2009 BRITISH &
IRISH LIONS TOUR OF SOUTH AFRICA
|
BRITISH
& IRISH LIONS 2009 - MATCH HIGHLIGHTS - WITH PRIDE (DVD)
|
|
It will be remembered as one of the great test series in
rugby history as the British and Irish Lions came within millimetres of
defeating World Champions South Africa on their own turf.
In the land of the big game hunter, this was one that got
away just! Three pulsating Test matches of ferocious intensity, compelling
and controversial at almost every turn.
Ian McGeechan's heroic squad were decimated by injuries
throughout the tour but still claimed a magnificent final Test win in the
Springboks' Ellis Park fortress.
The first Test in Durban was lost 26-21 despite a stirring
late comeback. The Lions had to win in Pretoria and did everything in their
power in a brutal but breathtaking collision. Rob Kearney's early try and
Stephen Jones' faultless kicking carried the tourists to the cusp of a
magnificent triumph - only for Lion hearts to be broken in the final seconds
by the long range boot of the nerveless Morne Steyn.
Paul O'Connell's side regrouped and responded emphatically
in Johannesburg, thrashing the Boks 26-9, scoring three tries to none. The
series was lost but the performance said everything about this pride of
Lions. With action from every game of the tour, extended highlights of the
first two Tests plus a bonus disc of the extraordinary final Test match in
full - this is the Lions in South Africa 2009

BRITISH
& IRISH LIONS 2009 - LIVING WITH THE PRIDE (DVD)
|
|
In 1997, Living with Lions - the behind the scenes
story of the British & Irish Lions Tour of South Africa - was acclaimed
as one of the greatest sports films ever made. Now, 12 years on, the Lions
are back in South Africa and so are our film crew, recording every minute of
what was one of the greatest Lions Test Series of all time.
With unprecedented access to all areas of the Tour,
Living with the Pride is the most intimate, honest and intense portrait of
life as a Lion ever produced.
From the Pennyhill Park training camp to the
magnificent final Test victory in Johannesburg, this is the inside story of
how players who are normally the fiercest of opponents turned themselves
into a band of brothers desperate to restore pride to The Jersey. Their
gruelling 10-match tour of the World Champions' back yard asked questions of
the players' mental and physical strength like never before.
Lions legend and Head Coach Ian McGeechan worked
closely with our film crew to make an astonishing no-holds-barred
documentary. With access to every player, an open door to every team
meeting, training session, selection meeting as well as excusive access to
the passion, fury and ultimately elation of the Lions dressing room, this is
a unique and uncompromising insight into life on a Lions Tour, described by
Tour Manager Gerald Davies as 'The last great adventure in rugby'.
No Lions Series has ever been closer, with many
commentators describing the second Test as 'the greatest rugby match ever'.
Sometimes hilarious, but often brutal, bruising and moving, Living With The
Pride is the official and exclusive behind the scenes story of one of the
most exhilarating, emotional and memorable sports tours of all time.

| "Pride
Restored - The Inside Story of the Lions in South Africa 2009"
by Mick Cleary, edited by Ian Robertson
|
Click on image to enlarge
|
This
inside story of the Lions in South Africa will preserve the memories of
the millions of fans who follow the tour in the press, on Sky and at the
games themselves. A Lions tour is the pinnacle in the career of any rugby
player from the four Home Unions. It is also increasingly a highlight in
the life of the vast number of travelling supporters and indeed of any
rugby follower. The "Complete Book of the Lions Tour to South Africa
2009" will be an enduring record of what is bound to be an
outstanding, sometimes controversial and always absorbing six weeks of
rugby history, from the first match on 30th May to the third, and final,
Test against the Springboks on 4th July. "The Complete Book of the
Lions Tour to South Africa 2009" will recall every aspect of the tour
from selection and preparation, through the early bruising encounters in
the warm-up games, the high points and the low, the constant battle
against injuries, the mind games and the man management, the individual
successes and disappointments, gruelling training sessions and lighter
moments off the field but most of all the Test series itself. The BBC's
voice of rugby Ian Robertson masterminds the book as its editor and will
provide comments and interviews with all the key figures on both sides.
Mick Cleary's perceptive writing will throw much light on the atmosphere
within the South African and Lions camps throughout the tour, examining
tactics, game plans in practice on the field, individual players within
the squads, including Ronan O'Gara, Brian O'Driscoll and Phil Vickery, and
the leadership of Lions captain Paul O'Connell. This is a new book.
