Fans from opposites sides tell how they will be enjoying tonight's game.
Otago fan
Name: Kristoffer Allen.
Occupation: Student
From: Papatoetoe, Manukau City.
Supports: Auckland - Dunedin is his second home.
Favourite player: Carl Hoeft, because he's my cousin. But also a big admirer of Mils Muliaina, too.
What would be
your dream moment in the game? A pushover try by Hoeft. He hasn't scored too many tries, that boy.
How did you get your tickets?: My cousin-in-law runs tours for overseas people so he got a ridiculous number of tickets because he booked in advance.
Do you think you paid a fair price?: Because we're family, my ones were free.
What are you doing after the game? Me and my mate Mark are in a band (Kazbar Live) and we're playing at the Bowling Green (iconic student pub).
And the score will be?: Otago 22, Lions 19.
Lions fans
Names: David and Rhianon Whittle
Where from: Chepstow, South Wales.
Supports: Chepstow RFC.
Favourite player: Him: Gavin Jenkins;
Her: Gavin Henson.
Dream Moment? I'd like to see a Welshman score a hat-trick of tries.
How did you get your tickets? On the internet.
Did you pay a fair price? Yes. We're not going to all the games, we're travelling around a bit.
We fly out after the first test, but we haven't got tickets for that yet.
What will you do after the game? Have a few beers, at a local rugby club or in town.
And the score will be: David: It'll be close but I reckon it will end up Lions 25, Otago 20; Rhianon: It will be a bit closer than that, Lions 19, Otago 15.
