Jim Telfer ‘Everest’ speech parody video urges Brits and Irish to visit Australia for Lions tour
A parody of a famous speech by former British Lions rugby coach Jim Telfer has appeared on YouTube.
The mock video of Telfer’s expletive-heavy ‘Everest’ rallying cry from the 1997 South Africa tour launches four months before the British and Iris Lions’ tour of Australia in June.
The three-minute video, which is hosted on Tourism Australia’s YouTube channel and carries TA and Qantas branding, aims to encourage Irish and British men to travel to Australia to support their team – by convincing their wives to let them go.
Aside from the annoying assumption that women wouldn’t want to travel to see the Lions tour, great video!
Brilliant

Love.
They’ll get a fright when they come over and find out it’s bloody cold in June and there’s no need for the beach towels.
