After the All Blacks test against Samoa, Hansen was asked about the performances of his two wings - Israel Dagg and Julian Savea. And there it was again, an unprompted reference to Ioane who would later play that night for the Maori against the Lions. So when it came to picking the team to play the Lions, Hansen and his selection crew had to find a way to pick between Savea, Ioane and Naholo. And then he has two trump cards - two special gifts that Hansen and the All Blacks couldn't resist. All Blacks team to play the Lions at Eden Park on Saturday (caps in brackets):1.
