Hi David thanks for this. I have been off line for a week or or two in hospital. Out coming right now thankfully and starting to get interested in life again!Thank you for your posting. Yes I agree with what you say. Generally speaking the feeling is that the tour was a success and the Lions performed to a higher standard than some of our critics expected.I agree with what you say about Barrett. He is a very talented player who has won a few matches by sheer inspiration and genius but his goal kicking lets him down. His younger brother seems to be more consistent but he is just coming through.
Almost every day there appears a new letter in our paper from Lions fans who are back in UK saying how much they enjoyed themselves here and couldn't believe the hospitality. All good to read eh!PS I consider myself fortunate in that I was able to watch the 1971 Lions a couple of times in Wellington. Now they WERE a team. Cheers.
