The Lions’ preparations for the All Blacks ramp up another notch this morning, with the second match of their tour.
They face Super Rugby opposition for the first time, in the shape of Auckland Blues.
Eight players with All Black caps have been named in the Blues’ side, including Sonny-Bill Williams.
There’s an all-Ireland centre partnership of Robbie Henshaw and Jared Payne for the Lions.
While there’s a start at loosehead for Jack McGrath, with CJ Stander wearing the number 8.
