LAIDLAW ON SONG IN CELEBRATIONS

The Lions toasted their gritty 12-3 win over runaway Super Rugby leaders the Crusaders by enjoying an old-fashioned sing-song in the AMI Stadium changing rooms – led by Greig Laidlaw. Northampton lock Courtney Lawes revealed the Scot got up and kick-started a rousing rendition of the tour’s Scottish anthem Highland Cathedral – drawing all 41 players and coaching staff in together. “Greig Laidlaw started the Scottish song, which was great fun. We all joined in. It shows the spirit of the team that you all get stuck in to things like that and that you want to be a part of it. That speaks volumes for the team and how well we get on with each other.”
