We’re near­ly through the Lions tour with just a few more days to go and back to nor­mal­i­ty for us all.

The camper vans are pil­ing up from the South, the bars are hang­ing Welsh/Irish/English and even Scot­tish flags and the events coor­di­na­tors are pan­ick­ing with the final details. We’re even bump­ing into Lions fans hail­ing from our school days!

You will have set­tled on a place to either view the game or avoid the mad­ness.

She's a beautiful thing .. is one of his favourite sayingsOf course the media will be in full force and we’ve just heard that Tony Veitch and Radio Sport will be broad­cast­ing live from the Back­bencher this Fri­day in prepa­ra­tion.

Demon­strate your pas­sion for the All Blacks with either the nation­al anthem, haka or All Black chant to win dou­ble tick­ets to the Bledis­loe game in Auck­land on 3rd Sep­tem­ber includ­ing return flights and accom­mo­da­tion.

Show starts at 6am and runs to 9am.
