VIDEO: Lions prepare for All Blacks by attempting to destroy drone

By Ian Cameron
Thousands of euro of equipment destroyed.

Billy Vunipola may have been withdrawn from the tour to New Zealand, but that body blow has been mitigated by the availability of expensive drones for the British and Irish Lions to play with and - if need be - destroy.

A cabal of players - namely Maro Itoje, Jamie George, Sam Warburton, Jonny Sexton and Leigh Halfpenny - were tasked with destroying one such drone as it hovered over the post in their training camp.

The boys didn't need to be asked twice.
