I'd rather live it, than dream it.
"Very few ever get a chance in rugby terms to go for the top
of Everest. You have the chance to do it. Being picked is the easy
bit. To win for the Lions in a Test match is the ultimate but you
will not do it unless you put your bodies on the line. You have
to find your own drive, your own ambition, your own inner strength,
because the moment's arriving - the greatest game of your lives."
Excerpts from Lions coach Jim Telfer's speech to his forwards
in 1997
