LIST: The three unlikely friendships from the 2021 Lions tour

#3. Rory Sutherland & Courtney Lawes

Scotland loosehead Rory Sutherland discussed his newly kindled friendship with England’s Courtney Lawes.

Sutherland said: “I feel like I’m getting on really well with Courtney Lawes,

“I think me and him have formed a really good friendship. But I think it all started in Jersey in training when we were doing an attacking drill and Courtney was in defence, and he tackled the guy, he landed on the floor and I pushed him out the way. He turned around, and I’d better not say what he said on camera but along the lines of ‘if I did it again, I’d pay for it.’ Let’s just say it never happened again.

“But yeah, ever since I feel like we’ve bonded really well and really nice to form some friendships with people I never thought I would. I don’t know if Courtney feels the same way, I really hope he does.”
