The British Lions v
The Barbarians
Introduced by Nigel Starmer-Smith
Rugby Special starts its new series with a unique match. Never before has the British Lions touring team played in front of a home crowd but, in this Jubilee year, before HRH The Prince of Wales, the Lions take on the most famous club in the world.
Many famous names will feature in the Barbarians side, among them Gareth Edwards , J. P. R. Williams and Gerald Davies. They will combine with other star
British players and a French contingent which includes Bastiat, Rives and Skrela to provide opposition of the highest quality. Commentator BILL MCLAREN
