Lions Videos Around The Web

26/06/09 11:43

There are a number of interesting Lions video's knocking around the web that I thought it was worth drawing your attention to. First off, ESPN Scrum have finished their At Home With The Invincibles series. This basically consists of a bunch of Lions legends from the 1974 tour round at Roger Uttley's house having a good old chin-wag about the mightiest Lions tour of them all. It's interesting stuff.

HSBC, sponsors of the current tour have also got an interesting video of Gareth Edwards and Gavin Hastings discussing the Lions prospects running into the 2nd test tomorrow. For those of you who can't get enough of the Lions, I recommend it.

Finally, for anyone who hasn't bought the Lions iPhone app (if you have an iPhone of course), I really recommend it. You get a new video clip every now and again, and while they're short and not quite the same as Living With Lions, they are genuinely behind the scenes. Highlights include Lenny the Lion suffering a horrendous gym injury - brilliant animatronics all around... - and Alun-Wyn showing off his 'interesting' juggling skills in Lions Skills School.

For those of you with an iPhone, I can highly recommend the Lions Official iPhone application. It's full of news and fixture details, but the real highlight are the tour videos which are added occasionally. These are shot by the guys making the tour documentary and although there are only a few up so far, they're pretty funny and really give a sense of being on the tour.

There's a particularly great bit where Nathan Hines can't recall Luke Fitzgerald's name. Little bit worrying given that they've been together for a while now (!), but I know the exact feeling and they do play about as far apart as it's possible to play!

It's priced at £1.19 and is well worth it for anyone who wants on the go Lions info. There is currently a bug in the application that makes videos unplayable if you exit the programme while one is downloading, but simply delete the offending video (by going to Downloads>Finished and then clicking edit in the top left) and then re-download it while remaining in the application. An update has been promised soon which will fix this issue.

For those who are interested, it can be bough via iTunes at the link below and requires an Apple iPhone.
