Today’s Daily Video is ‘The Honest Player,’ a short film from Gillette featuring George North along with historic moments from previous British and Irish Lions Tours.
The film incorporates memorable clips including plenty of Irish interest and even the back of Paul O’Connell’s head.
The voiceover is taken from the original Jim Telfer speech on the 1997 tour.
“When it comes to competitive sport there’s nothing more important than preparation,” he said.
“Preparing off-pitch is what enables you to be precise on-pitch; executing the crucial plays that will set you apart from the other team.”
“Being selected for the British & Irish Lions is one of the greatest honours for a player from the home nations. The pressure they’ll face is surmounted by nothing else. They need to be prepared both mentally and physically for what they’re going to face in New Zealand.”
“The sponsorship of the British & Irish Lions, one of the world’s most famous rugby teams, is something we’re very proud of,” added Gillette & Venus Brand Manager Matt Thomas.
“The Honest Player talks to all guys and shows that with the right preparation and precision they can achieve great things.”
