The day Matt Dawson threw a dummy which a whole country bought
Daily MailMatt Dawson winds back to a couple of minutes in 1997. Ali Price will be expected to produce a similar level of guile as Dawson did for this Lions team ‘We still had very much the traditional Lions mentality of enjoying our time away,’ Dawson says. An injury to Rob Howley opened the door to the Test team for former scrum-half Dawson ‘He would get up with two hours’ sleep and hit the scrummage machine 50 times and get picked in the first Test squad because he was playing and training so brilliantly. Warren Gatland could do with cunning when the Lions return to Cape Town on Saturday ‘I just went into the loo to get myself a bit of time because it was so manic,’ Dawson recalls. ‘So I’m not sure he was necessarily celebrating because I’d scored a try and was part of the Lions win, I think it was because he’d won a load of money.’ Still, Dawson called back.
