Fitness permitting, the Crusaders will name a full-strength team to play the British and Irish Lions in Christchurch two weeks out from the first test, a line-up which could include 11 All Blacks. The match at AMI Stadium on June 10 is one which will challenge the Lions in every facet. "We're lucky, we play them third so we'll get a feel for the style they want to play," Robertson told Radio Sport of the Lions. The [All Black] boys talk about winning four games against the Lions, so they're pretty focused." It's their first match on tour and if they can knock us off that would be pretty special for them.
