Ali Mason: Don't think I've ever fanboyed so hard for a game. This would be the greatest sporting victory I've witnessed.
Jody Redmires: Is this a good time to point out that Lions are not native to Britain? How about British Red Squirrels?

Image source, PALast summer, Jordie Barrett took a trip to England for the under-20s World Championship, playing in front of a few hundred people at Sale's AJ Bell Stadium and Manchester City's training ground.
After coming back home to New Zealand, he turned out for his university side, representing Lincoln - alma mater of Richie McCaw and Sam Whitelock - in their domestic championships.
Twelve months later and he is making his first international start in New Zealand's biggest game in years.
And it is fully deserved. The 20-year-old is a pinpoint kicker, a gliding runner and, at six foot five tall, a physical presence in defence and under the high ball.
Former All Black Sean Fitzpatrick says his inclusion is not a gamble. He is the "best player in New Zealand" according to the legendary hooker., external

Image source, gettyThe Lions have won the 3rd Test on their last two tours, having done so just once in the 8 previous tours.
If the tourists want to be in with a chance of creating history at Eden Park, the line out will be crucial.
After the first two Tests, the advantage lies with Warren Gatland's side. The Lions have a lineout success percentage of 87.5% compared to the All Blacks 74%.
It's a crisp and dry night at the iconic 50,000 seater stadium. Should the conditions change, the calls may, too.

This is the view from one of the corner flags as the All Blacks go through their warm-up.
It's a beautifully mild and dry evening here - it's New Zealand so could rain any minute - but as it stands conditions are pretty perfect.
Meanwhile the number of red shirts in the ground is astonishing.

The Times, external reported this week that Lions training had erupted into confrontations between team-mates, adding that "Sean O’Brien, the combative Ireland flanker, is believed to be have been in the thick of the 'verbals'".
The All Blacks seem similarly psyched. Ex-All Black Sean Fitzpatrick says he had been told that the hosts training sessions had sparked "a couple of little punch-ups", a claim denied by coach Steve Hansen., external

Image source, Rex FeaturesIf the Lions are to pull off an extraordinary heist and sweep the series from under All Black noses, they will have to shake off the weight of recent Kiwi history.
New Zealand have won their last 38 matches at Eden Park.
Their last defeat was more than 23 years ago - back on 3 July 1994 - when France edged out a team that included legends such as Sean Fitzpatrick, Jonah Lomu and Zinzan Brooke 23-20.

So says Ben Nutt - winner of Premiership Rugby's BreakThru Achiever award this week - about HITZ,, external the grassroots rugby programme that has helped him turn his life around.
Ahead of arguably the biggest game in world rugby, it's worth taking a minute to remember those at the other end of the pyramid - volunteers whose efforts are the foundation of our domestic game and have been rightly rewarded by the organisers of English rugby's top-flight.
