This is a potted compilation from a programme from the series "Sporting Legends". It features the historic British Lions Rugby Union tour of 1974 to South Africa where they became the first Lions to remain unbeaten in all games (and were robbed in the Fourth Test!!... look up the records if you feel the need!!). The tour went ahead despite South Africa being in the grip of apartheid. I am not defending nor criticising the decision to tour. All this clip is designed to do is to show the camaraderie and unity of the players on that tour and the stories that are related by the wonderful Scottish lock forward, the late Gordon Brown and the sublime, lyrical captain of the Lions - Willie John McBride. Music played a large part in the unity of the team (as seen on this clip) and the emergence of the anthem "The Flower of Scotland" is shown within this. Sadly, Gordon Brown (who was such a natural and had a marvellous delivery of a story) is no longer with us as he died in 2001 at age of 53 and Roy Williamson (of the Scottish folk duo The Corries) who wrote the anthem in 1965 also died too young in 1990. I am not a rampant Scot but an "Anglicised Welshman" but I loved the corinthian spirit of Rugby Union at that time and the fire of the Celts. I hope you enjoy the clip and not view it in any political way.. + Informações

The British Lions are unique in sport - the only team chosen to play exclusively away from home. The team is selected from the best footballers in England,Wales, Scotland and Ireland and tour every four or so years to either South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, so a tour to New Zealand in the professional era is a very rare occurrence (approx every 12 years). From 1888 The British have toured New Zealand; with the Lions proper touring since 1930 through to 2005 to continue a 117-year history of the Mother Countries visiting her most far-flung foot balling protégé. Of all the teams and of all the history of rugby being played in New Zealand, the British Lions are the publics' favourites, nearly a third of the country (800000 out of 2500000 Kiwis) paid to watch them play in 1959, they are traditionally the toughest, fastest, talented teams and the only team that has ever been cheered by New Zealanders against the All Blacks! All this history is magnified from it's past as The Mighty Pride illustrates the combative and brilliant competition between the best of the British and New Zealand sporting heroes.. + Informações

Taken from the DVD 'The Invincibles: The 1974 British and Irish Lions Tour of South Africa'. Available from www.digitalclassicsdvd.co.uk and all major retailers. In 1974 the South African apartheid regime was under worldwide condemnation; in defiance of a developing international policy to isolate South Africa, the British and Irish Lions rugby team controversially accepted the invitation to tour the country and play a test series against their ancient rivals, the Springboks. The resulting series was one of the most violent in Lions history; yet those 22 matches produced remarkable rugby, including many memorable tries. The Lions enjoyed unparalleled success and with some of the greatest players ever to grace the game, they went unbeaten, going down in rugby legend as The Invincibles. This film, which includes unique personal footage from the players, is both a thrilling celebration of a remarkable rugby team and a poignant reminder of the scale of change in South Africa since that landmark tour.. + Informações
