[QUOTE="FrankfurtRugbyWatcher4, post: 995254, member: 83480"] There is quite a tradition in the Lions' jersey of #6es that were no push over. He who wore the shirt in the modern era (mostly for each tour) . 1989 Mike Teague 1993 Ben Clarke 1997 Lawrence Dallaglio 2001 Martin Corry 2005 Simon Easterby 2009 Tom Croft 2013 Dan Lydiate 2017 Sean O'Brian On many occasions these men have been key players of their side. Like Teague, Corry, or Ben Clarke who his Kiwi opponents voted as the man they would most like to be on their side. The list also shows the different types of contributions from that position: Ball carrier or go forward (Teague, Clarke,) link man (Croft,) defender (Dallaglio, Lydiate,) physical domination (Corry.) Richard Hill, type mobile work horse, was like a second #6 in 1997. And still Martyn Johnson's pack was under a lot of pressure on that tour to South Africa.* These are the boots to be filled. *What helped was having “the fastest prop in the world” at centre. Rugby league returnee Scott Gibbs who bounced off mighty prop Os DuRandt. [/QUOTE]
