Former Lion labels tour training ‘pathetic’

FORMER Lion Nigel Horton has labelled parts of the training regime on the recent tour of New Zealand as “pathetic.”

Horton, who also won 20 caps for England, attended many of the Lions training sessions as the chief technical representative of Predator, the team’s training equipment manufacturer.

The Lions were beaten 3-0 in the Test series by the All Blacks with head coach Clive Woodward since coming in for some heavy criticism.
