when the british and irish lions we re when the british and irish lions were last in new zealand in 2000would ever return after a humiliation at the hands of the all blacks and a very one—sided series. even six weeks ago they arrived here with very few people giving them any chance of success. now, here at eden park, they are just one game away. one win away from making sporting history. there was a lot of belief that a lot of hope after that win in wellington last week and that's reflected in the tens of thousands of lions fans who are flooding in to the stadium. there are rumours that they could even outnumber the all blacks fans inside that ground. that might give the lions a bit of an edge in terms of the atmosphere because, although they are confident and it is the same starting 23 as last week, they are the underdogs in this one and the odds are stacked against them. new zealand are the world champions for a reason. they have a loss at this ground since 1994. it is kieran beat‘s 100th test as well, their captain, this evening. and they are unlikely to make the same mistakes they ma

i had about eight or nine british and irish lions supporters in the room with me.ed without sonny bill, down to 14 players with the majority of the game, but the lions were the better side. the weather conditions were atrocious, you know, but two tries to nil, you can't really argue with that. i thought it was brilliant. i was delighted for all the fans who had gone out there. and it is going to be a cracking, cracking game next week. gavin hastings, he was the last british lions captain to win a game down there, and that was in wellington as well in 93 so, you know, auckland is going to be a different challenge altogether. the fact is that the all blacks will be going to the test match now, you know, do or die, in the same way the lions went into the test match this morning, so there is going to be a slight shift of focus for the all blacks. obviously the main aim will be to keep 15 players on the field for this week, and for the lions their big focus will be to try and keep that error count down, because they gave away far too many silly penalties which allowed t
