Ireland Captain Rory Best described the moment he was selected for the Lions squad after missing out on selection four years ago.
Best told 5 live Breakfast: 鈥淚 was bombarded by the three kids and my wife. It was absolute elation. It was something that, after the disappointment four years ago, I thought I wouldn鈥檛 get another chance to get my name read out.鈥�
The hooker was originally left out of the last Lions squad for the 2013 tour to Australia.
