There was always going to be one undeniable truth to emerge from the first test - the All Blacks have the ability to raise their performance in Wellington. If that much is true of the All Blacks, what about the Lions? If this Lions team can do it, then fair play to them, they will be rewriting the rules on what is possible. These are the questions that will simmer all week and make a test series such a wondrous thing. This is why a Lions tour excites like no other rugby series outside of a World Cup.
