The British Lions tour for Australia 2013 not only reawakened the call for former British Lions back home for events all across the UK but we were delighted that Graham Rowntree, Shane Williams, Scot Quinnell all had a role in the tour which not only is a mark on their CV but helps us sell them for events in the next few Months.

Shane Williams who recently retired from UK rugby has been doing some speaking engagements then decided he would play rugby in Japan in soaring temperatures for the next few months. He was delighted to receive a call from Warren Gatland the Lions manager asking him to play a game against the Brumbies at the age of 36 years old now a Lions record. He almost scored in the first 2 minutes! 

Scott Quinnell has been busy in Australia on events and giving his opinion on the coverage of each game for Sky TV. Graham Rowntree was selected as one of the coaches for the tour looking after the forwards. All when they return will have stories to tell and certainly will make compelling listening for lunches and dinners for the 2013-2014 season of events
