Where can I get a transcript of Dallaglio's speech to the Lions before the game against the NZ Maoris in 2005?

Question

It is featured on the Lions 2005 DVD and is the pre-match speech delivered by an injured Dallaglio before handing the shirts to the Lions who will go on and play the NZ Maori team.

Answer 1

That's a great DVD you've got yourself there.

Here's the speech. It's not cringeworthy at all.

What an epic tour that was.

They were the best prepared lions tour of all time, the results of the matches don't really matter because of the achievements in running such a great tour.

Answer 2

Nice speech but I don't think you could say this was the best prepared Lion's team. They were terrible and the results showed that. A shame because what could of been a great tour ended up being a farce. No matter who got injured, there was over 35 first pick international rugby players. No matter who went on to play, they should of performed. Perhaps they may of performed better had Dallaglio been on the field, but then that just makes the rest of the squad mentally inferior if they had to rely on one player to lead them.
