Pictures of The British and Irish Lions v The Barbarians in Hong Kong - Page 5 of 8

Page 5 of 8. Hong Kong once again reaffirmed its position as the rugby capital of Asia, by hosting a match between The British and Irish Lions and the Barbarians.

The Lions and Barbarians had met just once before, in 1977 for the Silver Jubilee Trust Fund. And, what made the event in Hong Kong, which took place on Saturday, 1 June 2013 even the more special, was that is was not only the first time that The Lions had ever played in Hong Kong, but also the very first time they had stopped off on the way to a tour.

The extreme heat and humidity on Saturday will have proved a challenge for both teams, but it was The Lions that stormed to a convincing eight-try victory. By half time, The Lions were already up 23-3, and as the game became more and more one sided, The Lions showed their strength, unity and determination, to win the game 59-8.

People from all over the world had flown into Hong Kong to watch the game, and while the crowd of 28,643, may well be short of capacity, the atmosphere was electric.
