Warburton鈥檚 Lions Legends: Gavin Hastings

Sam Warburton chats to Lions great Gavin Hastings about his tours in 1989 and 1993.

Sam Warburton chats to Gavin Hastings, one of the greatest Scottish players to ever represent the British & Irish Lions. In 1989, Gavin helped the Lions to their first series win in 15 years. Despite being on the receiving end of a right hook from Australia鈥檚 Nick Farr-Jones in the second Test, Gavin scored a crucial try to level the series. He recalls David Campese鈥檚 famous error in the deciding Test and making the most of free champagne in business class on the flight home. Four years later he captained the Lions to New Zealand. Find out why he hung up on Ian McGeechan, which player taunted the crowd in Wellington with beer and all about a dodgy refereeing decision in the first Test.
