A British & Irish Lions tour is one of the most challenging sporting events in existence. Rugby is a game that values innovative expression, hard work, teamwork, and a never-give-up attitude. It can be fun, colorful, and beautiful, but it can also ruthlessly expose human weaknesses and frailties, especially in the intensely pressurized environment of a Lions tour. Every team, regardless of talent, will find itself in difficult and challenging situations both on and off the field; the successful ones are those with a leadership group that can guide them through these difficult times. In Legacy of the Lions, former Lions captain Gavin Hastings draws on his own experiences in the iconic red jersey and interviews other rugby greats, including Sam Warburton, Warren Gatland, Paul O'Connell, Brian O'Driscoll, Martin Johnson, Finlay Calder, and Sir Ian McGeechan, as well as a selection of their illustrious opponents, such as Kieran Read, John Smit, and John Eales. The book explores how to build a successful team in this most exclusive of environments, the challenges each individual faced, and the leadership lessons they learned. Inspiring, humorous, and enlightening, Legacy of the Lions offers a unique perspective on touring with and playing against The British & Irish Lions in the modern era. It is an intriguing study of the minds of some of rugby's greatest leaders.
