If we had film of them., the 1959 Lions scored some unbelievable tries as did the 1971 and 1974 teams.

All brilliant tries. The Sean O'Brien try was a magnificent team effort but for me, that Bentley try was really an amazing piece of skill.

I remember watching the Bentley try live on TV at the time. It seemed to mark a turning point in the whole tour. Up till then, things hadn't gone too well. They'd won games without looking too great and even lost the previous provincial game. After that one try, everything seemed to go better - at least that's how it seemed to me watching - and of course the Lions won the Test series.

7:07 Ben Te'o with a sneaky block on Sonny Bill which opens up the space for Liam Williams to get the move going. Watched that try so many times and that's the first time I've ever noticed that lol.

Are these the GREATEST Lions tries from the marketing brand era??? JJ Williams wasn't bad v NZ in 1977 but it doesn't come close to a Mike Philips try run of the mill score v a half empty stadium in a game nobody remembers

The answer to the question posed is no, they are not and it is pathetic to claim otherwise.The tries shown are all fairly recent and omit any scored during the wonderful Lions tours in the 1970’s, in particular against New Zealand and South Africa. Two winning test series against the two hardest teams the Lions play against.
