		The Lions haven’t learned from their mistakes and all those that have pointed out the obvious about the breakdown area have been convincingly been proved right.
		It’s difficult not to label this Lions side as the midweek team but it is clear that this side is being used to try out those players who are less likely to make the grade into the test team in seventeen days time.
		All the right noises were made by the Lions management that this was the first game of the tour and that it was as important to the side as all the games out in New Zealand.

	The British Lions in South Africa
		The first accredited British Lions tour to South Africa occurred in 1924, just over one hundred years from the invention of the game of Rugby Football.
		It is difficult not to accept that the Lions did not actually win the fourth test, with a dying minutes try, but the story goes that the referee - a local South African of course in those days - feared for his life had he given it.
		No further British Lions tours were to be planned to South Africa for another seventeen years; the experience was so bad, in fact, the Lions did not tour for almost another decade.

		In the deciding test the Lions forwards, with England's Brian Moore, Paul Ackford, Mike Teague and Dean Richards at their heart, were magnificent although it took a moment of madness from Australia wing David Campese to gift the visitors the decisive try.

		The 2001 Lions tour to Australia was one of the most shattering tours in Lions' history, promising so much but fatally impaired by injuries and disputes.
		It was a tour that was driven by separate agendas among leading Lions personnel and it was plain to many, long before the end, that this was an expedition that could only end in tears.
		However, there were also moments of high farce and as well as detailing the elements that led to the Lions' downfall, Jeff Connor has produced a hilarious account of daily life on a rugby tour, the internecine strife among media and management, the cynical Australian muck-raking and nsular nature of sports reporting.

	Preview of the British Lions vs. South Africa Match, 1997
		With just a few days until the first test between South Africa and the British Lions at Cape Town, it is time to maybe take a breather from the hurly burly and assess the chances of the Lions in the upcoming tests - the first series between these two sides for seventeen years.
		The Lions have also the benefit of being together for over a month come the first test, while South Africa will have had about two weeks, and in which time they will only have played one actual match, and have really gelled in the last week.
		In achieving this unheralded win, the Lions have shown that northern hemisphere players can encompass the more open and expansive game demanded by newer laws and expectations, and also compete mentally with a ferocious spirit and confidence rarely credited to their ilk.
