DOCUMENTARY: Reminisce with the epic 2009 British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa

BY Grant Constable  ·  Tuesday Apr 14, 2020

The 2009 British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa will forever be remembered for the drama of the closing minutes of the second Test in Pretoria. Here is a look at the official DVD, which makes for brilliant viewing.

While the aforementioned 2nd test is one that gets spoken of a lot, especially with Morne Steyn’s winning kick after Ronan O’Gara’s blunder, the first Test was equally thrilling.

The powerful Springboks, who won the Rugby Championship that year and beat the All Blacks three times, succumbed in the third Test, however.

This official DVD covers the Test matches but so much more, and is essential viewing for a time like now, when we have no live rugby to watch. Enjoy!
