Tommy Bowe Q&A: ‘Cruel’ Lions selection like X Factor

Tommy Bowe on the highs — and lows — players experience on the morning of Lions squad announcements

Q: Players find out the Lions team selection at the same time as the fans — what was that like for you?

Tommy Bowe: “It’s crazy. I was involved in the last two and in the first one, in 2009, I was grand the night before maybe because I was a bit younger. I was in Wales, and we had to train in the Vale of Glamorgan on the morning of the announcement.
