The article reminisces about a transformative journey in June 2001, where the author, post-breakup and on a Greyhound bus in Australia, felt compelled to follow the British & Irish Lions tour. This decision led him to witness Jason Robinson's astonishing performance scoring five tries in a single match, transforming him from an unknown player to a rugby star. The excitement surrounding the tour, along with other unforgettable moments, cemented the author's passion for rugby, even amidst a challenging personal situation.
After a taste of the unique Lions atmosphere, I was hooked. Itineraries were changed, flights booked, tickets rustled up. Sourcing a first-Test ticket proved impossible.
Robinson had been an unknown quantity in his new code, but no longer. The only real question now, wrote Robert Kitson, is just how the Wallabies will deal with him.
