While the rugby has been unexpectedly enthralling over the last six weeks, the 2017 Lions tour has also seen its fair share of incredulous broadcasting moments. Graham 'Simmo' Simmons may never have his IMMORTALITY interview topped but Will Greenwood contributed a late contender for cringiest Lions broadcasting moment during a postmatch chat with Lions chief social media correspondent James Haskell.
Greenwood actually dubbed the England flanker 'the Archbishop of Banterbury' on live television. With the world watching.

Like the Alan Wyn-Jones concussion, the ballsy Owen Farrell penalty and the farcical last five minutes of the match, the Greenwood remark fully captured the spirit of this tour.
The actual Archbishop of Banterbury could not be reached for comment.
