Peter Wright was part of Arthur Smith’s 1962 Lions squad that travelled to South Africa to take on the Springboks.
The Blackheath prop had made his England debut two years earlier against Wales and had 13 caps to his name when selected for the Tour.
Though he did not feature in the Test series in South Africa, Wright played in eight games on the Tour.
Wright was never on the losing side for the Lions, finishing with five wins and three draws, a curious parallel with his Test career. Of his 13 games for England, four finished as draws.
