Re-live
the incredible action, drama and excitement of the British & Irish Lions
Tour to Australia 2013, where they triumphed in emphatic fashion to secure their
first Lions Test series victory since the heroes of ’97 and their first on
Australian soil for 24 years.
And what
a win it was! In front of tens of thousands of dedicated Lions travelling
supporters, the crusaders set the standard early on, winning all but one of
their warm up games before edging the first Test with a 23 - 21
victory over the Wallabies.
The
second Test was even closer with Australia winning 16-15 in a hard-fought
encounter that would see injury to Lions Captain Sam Warburton ruled out of the
final Test. A Wallaby try in the closing minutes broke Lions hearts and meant
the series would go down to a mouth-watering ‘winner takes all’ final showdown
at the ANZ stadium in Sydney.
The Lions
saved their best performance to last, smashing the Wallabies 41– 16,amassing
a record-breaking Test match points total and claiming their first series win
over Australia since 1989. The Lions were outstanding, scoring 4 fabulous tries
and dominating up front in one of the greatest Lions victories of all time, with
‘Man of the Series’ Leigh Halfpenny also scoring the most points ever in a Lions
Test.
Action
from every game in Australia, extended highlights of each Test plus a bonus
disc of the record-breaking third and final Test match in full - this is the
amazing story of the victorious British &Irish Lions Tour to Australia
2013.
