Irishman Lucas Mac Eachrain found himself in bed with the opposition on Sunday night thanks to "needling" Napier hosts. The travelling British and Irish Lions fan found his Napier host's bedroom decor was a bit on the dark side with an All Black bedspread and matching pillows. A picture of his predicament was posted to the Unofficial: British & Irish Lions 2017 Tour To New Zealand Facebook page, which prompted the question: Did he sleep well? The Irish teacher and former open-side flanker found his accommodation through the Adopt a Lions Fan 2017 Facebook page, where he spied an offer from Westshore residents Soggy and Richard Rogers. Adopt a Lions Fan was set up by West Coast resident rugby fan Adam Gilshnan when he heard many travelling fans were struggling to find affordable accommodation, asking Kiwis to open their homes and caravans for free.
