Maybe sour grapes from Mr Arrogant carling, didn't come anywhere near test selection, let alone tour captain, and had an awful tour , and I'm English, don't think carling got the concept of 🦁 touring at the time
I am Scottish and like Will. He was a good player for England, and McGeechan was going to pick him over Hastings but the Welsh and Irish unions were not into that so he picked Gavin Hastings as a World Class player all the Home Unions would accept.
@@jaynedavis3655 As a scot the influence of the unions scuppered this tour.. too many Scots and not enough form English players. It was a shame. Carling by his own admission had a terrible tour but argues that his lack of form was not for lack of motivation on his part.

From 20-0 down, the Lions came back to beat the Maoris, principally thro a Gavin Hastings game winning performance. What a player he was.
Listen carling !!.
Big Gav was the rugby player you dreamed of being!, but never got near that level....
They're both good players and good blokes.
Won grand slams and a world cup final.yeah sure he wishes he was hastings
What they don't say is that the Lions eventually did, coming back to win the match from 20-0 down!
Finley Calder was a better Lions Captain than big Gav. Though he was a great player.
Finlay was hard as nails..
A world class flanker.....
Weird tho'.. cos Fin got dropped as captain in favor of David Sole after the 89 Lions tour.
@@powerbite92 He had enough of the pressure. He was glad to take a back seat and played his best in the 1990 Slam win and getting to RWC semis.
