British & Irish Lions tour - Scrum Safari 3
Off the field, plenty of hard work is put in to get to that starting Test side, but there's still time to relax and unwind, which is just as important on a tension filled tour such as this.
On this edition of the BBC's Scrum Safari, we catch up with the Lions players after the second Test of the series, as they attempt to wind down and take their mind off the disappointments of a gruelling tour.
The Lions went on a safari and get quizzed about the Big Five, a question to which most of them fail. We also get a behind the scenes peak at what's on the menu for the players, and then we see the guys back in Johannesburg, heading to the movies for the night.
It's then back to the ever loyal fans, who throughout the tour have been fantastic with their support for their side. Telly Tubbies, Cheerleaders, and Lions, we've seen it all on this tour. Enjoy.

Grow up you two.
Itll be a while til either England or Wales get in the top 5 with the way Ireland and France are shaping up

Historic Big 5 would certainly be:
New Zealand
Australia
South Africa
England
France
This video is quite fun to watch. Seems that lions, so british and irish gathered, enjoy theirselves.
So i still don't understand why ireland, england, scotland and wales always say that their hate each other during 6 nations;
and in other way, for example, lions series, seem to be galvanized by an "united" spirit
Sometimes, i wonder if it's real or fake...
New Zealand
Australia
South Africa
England
France

What? What's that based on? World Cups? Duh. You can't just announce that something is 'historical' when it clearly is not. Are you a tabloid journalist by chance?

Watched sky news last night for the Lions "homecoming" to Heathrow, not one shot of an Irish player, no interview with Paul O'Connell but loads of interviews with English players though. Cant wait til Six Nations time again to stuff them !!!!

To Doyle,
based on world cups..
it's not tabloid, it is just facts

Doyle, I think it's pretty obvious that is the top 5. It's just common sense really.

9) care
10) wilko
11) cueto
12) tindall..... maybe
13) tait
14) monye
15) armitage

john hayes best play July 08, 2009 11:57 am
why havent they interviewed john hayes on these clips he is obviously the funniest man on the tour and all the other players think he is great. instead of interviewing boring welshmen they should get john hayes cracking jokes!!
if the big five were based on the quality of players that a country produces instead of results ireland would top it surely!

Ha - love it. I knew starting the big five debate with a list of teams would spark a few comments.
Kearney for tests July 08, 2009 6:01 pm
Anonymous that's not a bad backline, but it's not a good one either. Did anyone else think Ron Kearney seemed like a great guy in this?
Doyle July 08, 2009 10:26 pm
Flooz,
haha I knew it, you are an imbacile. Why not check the facts? If you were basing a list of the top 5 rugby nations on world cups alone the list would read;
1. Australia
2. South Africa
3. England
4. New Zealand
5. France
Check it out now before you type more nonsense. This is the factual list based on how many times a team has been champion, runner up, third and fourth placed. The fact that you put New Zealand at the top is the most laughable point of all:))

Again, maybe check your facts. Why don't you check the history of the world cup?

Doyle.
You cannot rank teams on world cup wins?
Does your club rank itself on one cup win or where it finished in it's regular league?
The latter I think.

To above, they're national teams so there is no league you muppet. The only competition between all the nations is the world cup. Silly boy.
