Have not been getting much sleep lately. The Lions games come on in the middle of the night in California. But I do see them live. Cannot wait until the Tests - win or lose it should be great rugby.

1434 BST:
Martin Corry was so excited about leading out the Lions against Taranaki he became the first captain in more than 30 years not to take the tourists' lion mascot with him. He was supposed to collect it from team manager Louise Ramsey on the way out. "I was so pumped up I ran straight past her," he said. "When I was stood there for the anthem and saw Louise holding it, I thought: 'Oh God, I don't believe it'. It was good to start the game because I knew I'd made a balls-up."

New Zealand's attempt to cancel out the threat of Lions fans flooding the Tests was launched in Auckland on Thursday. The adidas campaign has seen dozens of huge haka-men appearing all over the country - in fields, atop of hills, on islands, in city centres. There's also been a guerilla sticker operation in towns and cities across the land. It has been intriguing the public and it has an official name - Stand in Black. After Thursday everyone in the country will be a little wiser and know what's expected of them in the face of the ride tide.

Whilst some may think Charlie Hodgson has played himself into Test contention, I personally doubt it. On his day he has great tactical awareness, distribution and kicking ability, but he's such a confidence player that, on an off day (and lets face it, at international level he's had more offs than ons!), he's likely to cost you 10-12 points in missed goals and mis-kicked clearances.

1228 BST: Allan Malcolm, via email from Jordan:
Lots of complaints about the Lions song so here are a few words that should be easy to learn and if sung to a catchy tune might just do the job: "We come a band of warriors/From lands across the seas/To fight for our great history/In a game 'tween you and me/We're young and fit and healthy/And keen to strutt our stuff/To show our friendly Kiwi, That we're made of sterner stuff......Lions, Lions together we will stand/ shoulder to shoulder in this far-off land". Sing it to the tune of "Ireland's Call" and no apologies for nicking the final refrain.

My plane tickets have just arrived, my Kiwi mates have arranged a top itinerary and the tour is bubbling up nicely. A trip of a lifetime.

0936 BST:
It seems jet lag may be taking a significant toll on new Lions arrival Gareth Thomas. When asked to comment today on the tourists' 36-14 win over Taranaki he said: "I didn't really see it as I was struggling after the journey. I saw the first 60 minutes and then the last 20." A journalist then pointed out: "But Gareth, that's the whole game." Thomas replied: "Yes, but I didn't really know what I was watching!"

0813 BST: Matt, via email:
I'm touring in NZ and just loving it. The people are so friendly and they love their rugby.

0733 BST: Suzy, via email from Wellington:
I think the Lions have made a good impression here so far. Not everyone in NZ dislikes them and not everyone in NZ thinks that the All Blacks will win 3-0. Having said that, wouldn't most people in the UK & Ireland believe that the Lions can beat us? Why is it such a bad thing if us Kiwis have a strong belief in our team?

0655 BST: Ian Robertson, Radio Five Live
This is far and away the strongest side the Lions have picked so far (for the Maori game). Of the likely Test 22, I would say all bar three or four of them have been included. Tom Shanklin and Shane Williams, the two Welsh wings, are not certain to be in it and they will be looking at Jason Robinson and Gareth Thomas in the next game. But it is a great opportunity for Stephen Jones and Matt Dawson to set up a half-back partnership that could propel them into the Test team. Simon Taylor has a great chance to stake his claim while they have the heavyweights in the front row. Julian White is probably the best scrummager in modern rugby. It is a very strong team.

0513 BST: Alex Root-Read, via email from Rotorua:
I own a British pub here in Rotorua. I was proud to plaster 'LIONS' right across the front windows of the pub and host some two thousand Lions supporters. Seeing them win the opener against BOP was fantastic, but having been here two years, I must say how happy I was to see a closely-fought contest on the night. Provincial BOP did themselves and the country proud. I was a happy host on Saturday night. Go the Lions and all Brits welcome at The Pheasant Plucker pub!

The Lions supporters certainly enjoyed themselves in Rotorua, or Roto-vegas as it's known locally, after the Bay of Plenty match. Over the course of the weekend 15,000 litres of keg (draught) beer was downed and the bar that hosted the Barmy Army came very close to running dry. I can see the eyes of publicans around the country lighting up with dollar signs.

0223 BST: Peter, via email from Rotorua:
Tom Innes' 'high-pitched whine' (see Wednesday's blog) was a stirring, unaccompanied performance by Dame Malvina Major, one of the world's leading sopranos. Some people just can't recognise quality.

0136 BST: Mark, via email from Canada:
I had to watch the first game three days later as Canadian TV shows naff football on tons of channels but rugby is only shown about midnight three days after the event.
