British Lions Tour preview: Mike Teague's Australia For me, the most memorable matches were in Brisbane. They were very intense, and we came out on top. After the second test, which became known as the Battle of Ballymore, due to the bruising nature of the game, it all became very, very serious. There was no drinking of tinnies in the stands then. It was a brutal tour, but I've got great friends from both sides. That's the mark of rugby, the camaraderie afterwards. I've only been back to Australia once since, in 1991 before the World Cup, where we didn't fare quite as well. But I'll be there this time too, and it's fantastic to be going back - especially to get away from this country, and the weather we've been having. I'll be there with [former England players] Peter Winterbottom and Roger Uttley, raising money for former Lions players who have fallen on hard times. We're going to ride 1,000 miles on racing bikes from Melbourne to Sydney between the second and third tests. I'm trying to get other former players to join us on the way, but some of the boys seem to be hiding at the moment. When we pull into Darling Harbour, I'll definitely enjoy a pint of Guinness. Mike Teague was voted player of the series in the 1989 British Lions Tour of Australia, which the Lions won by two games to one.
