That moment Dallaglio got injured was the moment where all the disasters began for the Lions...

[@chickentwisties2298]

Yes it's so true I remember the moment this happened and I thought nope there's no way the Lions will win the series my family were saying no way it'll be alright but deep down inside I knew this was gonna be very bad...

@@chickentwisties2298 I don't think deep down the Lions ever stood a chance on this tour. The whole ethos was wrong. Splitting the group was a massive mistake, never any unity. The touring party in general was too big, especially the playing squad - test team was never settled and bedded in. Then the injuries to big players like BOD, Dallaglio and Hill - just compounded it. Oh and they were playing the AB's!
