The British and Irish Lions hope to finally win over their fans against the best in the Super Rugby franchise the Crusaders tonight.
While the men from Christchurch want to make an impression, the Lions will unleash their strongest side yet against a very young Crusaders team.
Head coach Warren Gatland says that the aim was always to start everyone in the first three matches and this selection ensures that they achieve.
Gatland says that their squad is working hard and they are seeing improvement in their performances both at training and in the games.
Crusaders Coach Scott Robertson said that no matter how tonights match unfolds, this will be a game that the players involved will remember as one of the special moments in their careers as not many players get the opportunity to play in a British and Irish Lions tour, and to do that in front of a sellout crowd at AMI Stadium will make it a fantastic clash.
The Crusaders will host the British & Irish Lions at 7.35pm tonight.
