A heartwarming moment at Franklins Gardens was captured by the club’s media team as Director of Rugby Chris Boyd delivered some outstanding news to two senior players.
He reveals to Dan Biggar and Courtney Lawes that they have been picked for the Lions squad to take on South Africa in the summer.
It is considered an elite honour in rugby to be a Lion, available only to players from the home nations who take on the challenge of a tour in one of the Southern Hemisphere powerhouse rugby nations.
Social media has been churning with fans views about who should be included but the warmth of the reaction from Biggar and Lawes’ team mates speaks for itself.
