What a team!
Legendary Lions coach Sir Ian McGeechan has had a go at picking his dream team from the squads he coached in 1989, 1993, 1997 and 2009.
McGeechan has launched a book, When The Going Gets Tough, ahead of the 2017 Lions Tour to New Zealand and it should go down a treat with most rugby fans. His insight into the legendary touring side is something we can all look forward to.
Here’s his team, courtesy of a snippet in The Telegraph.
