Saturday's first test is the biggest, highest pressure game of Warren Gatland's career and will make or break his reputation as a coach.
If the Lions win, Warren will be justified in sticking two fingers up to anyone who questioned his tactics, his selection policy and picking six players based on geography rather than ability.
If it all goes as many feared it will then Warren has serious questions to answer on all those issues.
His achievements with Wales and Wasps are impressive, but this is what he will be remembered for.
The All Blacks are also expecting this test to be tougher than their final against the Wallabies at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
The All Blacks will host the British and Irish Lions at 7.35pm Saturday at Eden Park.
