Munster Lions: 22 tour heroes to be honoured

FRIDAY sees one of the most formidable collection of legends in one room since Homer sat down to write the Odyssey.

A special gathering of Munster rugby Lions in Cork will honour the 22 living Munster Lions, from Mick Lane and Jim McCarthy of the 1950 Tour to last year's tourists to New Zealand.

"This highlights Munster's amazing contribution to the Lions down the years," says Donal Lenihan, who both played with and managed the Lions.
