But the test in Dublin is likely to be a far better indicator of what the Lions must do than the test in Chicago. To win the series, the Lions are going to need to win two tests. They can't say little old Ireland stands no chance against the world famous nasty men in black. They can no longer use - positively or negatively - their failure to ever beat the All Blacks as some kind of emotional fuel. They win a test and they are expected to ramp up to a higher level in the next.
