In 2009, Alan #Quinlan was selected for the British and Irish #Lions Tour despite not making the Ireland team. His form with #Munster was great and he was exactly the type of player Warren Gatland needed on the Lions squad for their tour of South Africa in 2009.
#Ireland had won the Grand Slam that year and there were a host of Irish players on the squad, including guys not on the team but the eye gouge of Leo Cullen in the Heineken Cup semi-final between Munster and Leinster meant Quinlan served a suspension that kept him out of the tour.
"I was convinced then my Lions tour was over.
"It was 0.4 seconds. I didn't mean to do it."
Alan Quinlan opens up on the incident with Leo Cullen that led to his suspension and shattered his Lions dream.
