What matters tomorrow at Eden Park? We could start with a draw as the 1971 series ended to guarantee a series decider in the return test at Eden Park but those stalemates are a rarity. Spectators want to see dollops of flowing expression but have to accept the grinding foundations needed to set up those chances and the unrelenting pressure this test series will exert on the players' reactions. The Lions faced some intense heat to find a result and in difficult conditions, that victory was built on defence and goal-kicking. Cue Eden Park and some mid-winter meteorological menace.
