British and Irish Lions

A host of Lions stars were on hand to give their thoughts on the past, present and future of Britain and Ireland's elite on Friday at the first 2013 HSBC Legends of the Lions dinner in London.

Head coach Warren Gatland and tour manager Andy Irvine joined Jerry Guscott and Will Greenwood to talk shop ahead of the summer adventure in Hong Kong and Australia, and we've posted an album of photos on our facebook page at Official Lions Rugby.

As well as discussing what lies ahead Down Under, triple Lions tourists Guscott and Greenwood assessed the English contribution to the world's most-famous touring team, debating their top 10 English Lions of all time.
