Not a problem, the 8 @LeicesterTigers players involved in winning RWCโ03 landed at Heathrow Tue, returned to club training Wed & were part of the 23 man squad on Sat v Bath (H) . we lost & proved comprehensively that lack of sleep & alcohol is detrimental to performance ๐๐๐.

Such sad & terrible news. A true warrior, a great @lionsofficial who epitomised the spirit of our 1997 squad. Our thoughts are with Tomโs family and friends #RIP Tom Smith ๐โค๏ธ.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Tom Smith. Tom made an incredible impact for the Lions, touring in 1997 as well as 2001 and was one of the great props to play the game. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. RIP Tom โญ๏ธ.

17 years has flown by. ๐ฅณ.
Sydney starters @BenKay5, @NeilBack, plus @LewisMoody7 off the bench with a crucial drive before that drop kick, were joined in the squad by Martin Corry, Dorian West and Julian White. They were shortly joined by CBE and MBE suffixes from the Buckingham Palace leg of the tour.
