It was the last Lions tour in the sport's amateur era.
I watched him on the Lions tour and he's a very good player.
Subsequently became their first international in the 1989-90 season and established himself as a Test player on the 1990 Lions tour.
Seriously though, the Lions tour seemed to be the final nail in his coffin.
Some thought that professionalism would see the end of Lions tours.
He was also called up to the 1993 Lions tour as a replacement, playing in two tests.
The issue of commercial assistance during Lions tours was also discussed, it is understood.
If selected, I would love to bow out on another Lions tour.
I've been on a Lions tour before with that kind of attitude and it didn't go very well for me.
I'd love to go on a Lions tour and win it.
