Legendary Lions hooker Keith Wood tells lionstour.com – the official travel site for the 2013 tour – all about his memories of the last trip to Australia.
Here’s a taster of what the former Ireland hooker had to say on a remarkable adventure Down Under and an incredible start to the Test series at The Gabba….
“We were down in the bowels of the stadium before the first Test in Brisbane and you could just hear this noise, like a train. We had no idea what it was but we knew it was special,” said Wood.
“It wasn’t until we came up those final few steps into stadium that we realised it was full of red – and it was magic. You were literally carried the last few steps.
“It shocked the Aussies as much as our performance did and I am sure the 2013 tour will be even bigger in terms of support.”
In order to ensure that Lions travelling fans gain the ultimate British & Irish Lions experience, the Lions have launched their own dedicated travel company – Lions Rugby Travel – who will supply official supporter tours to Australia in 2013.
The Lions depend on the travelling support as much as the players, and are sure to be backed by more fans than ever before in 2013, adding to the atmosphere and passion at each and every game.
