    Lions 2025: The Ultimate Preview with Alun Wyn Jones
    Jun 17 2025
    Join us for an exclusive, in-depth conversation with rugby royalty, Alun Wyn Jones, the most capped men's rugby player in history. From his first tour battling imposter syndrome to hoisting the Tom Richards Trophy in 2013 and captaining the 2021 tour, Alun Wyn relives all four of his iconic British & Irish Lions campaigns. We'll delve into the physical battles, the shifting dynamics of the Lions over two decades, and the unique challenges of touring Australia. Get ready for candid reflections on teammates, controversies like the James Horwill incident, and the emotional weight of wearing the coveted red jersey. Plus, Alun Wyn offers his insights on Andy Farrell's leadership, the 2025 Lions squad, and whether the tour's increasing commercialisation threatens its mystique. 🛞 Season 5 is Sponsored by Continental Tyres 00:00:00 🐐 – Meet the Legend 00:01:44 😮 – The Truth About Life After Rugby 00:06:07 🔥 – Premiership Final Drama: The Dan Cole Controversy 00:19:25 ⚔️ – Evolution of the Lions: Accessibility vs Tradition 00:25:14 🧠 – From Self-Doubt to Captaincy: Alun Wyn’s Lions Journey 00:56:03 🔮 – Looking Ahead to the 2025 Tour 01:18:29 🍹 – Beyond Rugby: Alun Wyn Jones's Mimosa Rum 🔐 Nord VPN - https://nordvpn.com/goodbadrugby ⌚WOB Group Competition - https://forms.gle/FgVKoWvgCQB7b4PL7 🦁O’Neill’s Live Show - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gbr-x-oneills-mens-lions-preview-show-tickets-1408518439569?aff=oddtdtcreator Learn more about your ad choices.
