Alex Cuthbert chats exclusively to Sky Sports about his career and 2013 British and Irish Lions tour memories as part of our Lions Recollections digital series.
'Alex Cuthbert! Can there be a better feeling than that for the young man? Bold and powerful again, and for Lions supporters, beautiful too.' The enduring words of Sky Sports commentator Miles Harrison the last time the British and Irish Lions toured Australia in 2013, when a fresh-faced 23-year-old Cuthbert powered and slalomed his way through for a stunning try in the opening Test - the decisive score in a vital 23-21 victory.
'If anyone asked me, 'what game put you on tour?', I'd have to say the England game. I don't know how I did it, my hamstring was hanging off. I was lucky not to rip it completely and be out of the tour. 'When everything calmed down the next day, my hammy was screaming. It was just pure adrenaline and the atmosphere got me through. It's the best atmosphere I've ever been involved in.
