Lions v All Blacks - One hell of a rugby match on Saturday
Two of the three Tests will be played at Auckland’s Eden Park. The All Blacks last lost at their favourite ground 23-years ago when France surprised them 23-20
The first Test between the All Blacks and the British & Irish Lions is the most keenly anticipated rugby match since the 2015 World Cup final‚ and statistically the tourists don’t have a chance. The slow build-up to the Saturday’s big game at Eden Park has been enthralling‚ filled with ups and downs for the tourists. The narrative of scaling impossible odds has slowly given way to a genuine belief that there is faint hope of an upset by the tourists. Series’ of this nature are an anachronism in the modern era‚ yet the Lions trudge through New Zealand over the past three weeks has sent a reminder that tours‚ with provincial matches‚ are still relevant and enthralling.
