I thought Matt Stevens had an excellent game against Otago and could force his way into the Test team, while Chris Cusiter and Matt Dawson will push each other for a place in the squad. One of the major talking points is the starting fly-half. Jonny Wilkinson has played so little rugby in the last 12 months and he's not played a good game since his comeback from injury. Stephen Jones is an outstanding fly-half and should start with Wales team-mate Dwayne Peel for the Test side. There is a very good argument, however, for putting Wilkinson at inside centre as he has a left-boot to Jones' right.
Then there's Jason Robinson. Many are tipping him to start on the wing for the Test side but he looked limited for England in the Six Nations and didn't have any real impact. So I'd start with Geordan Murphy but, that said, Sir Clive Woodward is very loyal to his England players and he might decide to stick with Robinson.

Having struggled to contain the expat Kiwi community in Bristol, the prospect of four million of them seems a nightmare. The Kiwi press are building up the pressure and writing off the tourists. We fly out later on Saturday with the masses of other Lions supporters arriving for Test match week. We will give as good as we get. 1444 BST: James, Sydney, via email
As a Brit living in Sydney I've been getting plenty of gip from the Aussies about how many points the All Blacks will put past us in the Tests. I watched the game with a number of them and they were near on silent in the second half which speaks volumes for our performance. Ryan Jones - you were legendary and must be in the Test 22. Undercover Kiwi surely now knows the All Blacks are in for a tough series.
1408 BST: Chris Rattue writes in the New Zealand Herald
The Lions are hindered by the secrecy campaign and maybe even confusion caused by playing in handcuffs. Just how much more the Lions have to give is debatable. Knowing their own limitations, they may be keeping every potential weapon of mass destruction away from the inspectors. Then again, like Iraq, they could have nothing in reserve. 1300 BST: Joseph, Christchurch, via email
I cannot see the Lions winning the Test series. In fact, from what we have seen so far, I would be appalled if the All Blacks don't win 3-0. While the Lions have finished stronger in the second half of all their games, they have to, they are playing for a Test place. We may seem arrogant in our view of the upcoming series, but it's not a World Cup year so we know we going to win everything!

Ryan Jones capped a fine all-round performance with a well-worked try, and he was the class act on the night. Ok, there were errors from the Lions in the game but they are getting there. This was a much more satisfying display from them. 1147 BST: Dave, Dunedin, via email
I'd heard stories of how rowdy and cheery British and Irish fans are wherever they go. Having gone to tonight's game, I now believe them. They must be the best fans in the world, with their flags and singing.

I'm flying to NZ next week and looking forward to the Tests and hopefully silencing the New Zealand press. Let's get on with the real business and forget all the cheap jibes which I feel ruin a unique event. Bring on next Saturday and let's get the job done which, when left to it, we're more than capable of doing.
1049 BST: Paul Smith writes in the New Zealand Herald
The Lions secured a hard-fought victory over Otago. Otago had taken the honours in the first half but the touring side battled back in the second period and late-on they asserted themselves to secure the win. 1023 BST: Jonathan, Northants, via email
Myself and my dad fly out on Tuesday for three weeks of what will be the most memorable in our lives. The general feeling is that something special is going to happen and, if the boys can keep their composure and play their own game, we will be celebrating. This is going to be awesome.
1014 BST: Ian Robertson, Radio Five Live
It was 13-13 at half-time and the Lions hadn't played very well. But there was a much greater sense of urgency after the break. They wore Otago down and eventually won relatively easily. They were convincing and there are certainly some players who will have forced their way into the Test squad after that game. The momentum is now with them - they've got four wins out of five matches and they should be ready for the first Test come Saturday. 0855 BST: Gareth Chilcott, Radio Five Live
That was a disappointing 40 minutes for me and the Lions management should shake them up at half-time. They seem to be letting things slip at the end. They make good play and then their attention slips and that won't do against the All Blacks that's for sure. I'd bring on Ollie Smith for Gordon D'Arcy. The Irish centre's been out of sorts on this tour to date and this game is no different.
0752 BST: Sir Clive Woodward
Realistically this is the last chance for players before the first Test. I will be making my mind up tomorrow when I sit down with the coaches and by Monday morning I will be pretty clear who will be going down to Invercargill for the Southland game on Tuesday and who will be playing in the Test match. Clearly I have not shown my hand in terms of our Test team yet, and that was always in my plan.
0748 BST: Gareth Chilcott, Radio Five Live
I now think most of the Test side has been decided but there's still some to play for. Geordan Murphy was outstanding in his first outing of the tour and I expect him to get the nod on the wing for the Test team. As for the starting Test number 10, I've argued this over many a bottle of red wine. I'd go for Jonny Wilkinson, with Stephen Jones on the bench. It would take a brave man to leave out Jonny but, that said, Sir Clive Woodward's a brave man. 0632 BST: Jill Douglas, Radio Five Live
We have had sub-zero temperatures all week here in Dunedin and there is a freezing fog coming in, so I think we are in for a cold one here at the "House of Pain." The phrase was actually coined by a New Zealand player after a particularly tough training session here in the 1950s, but now is used more for the welcome awaiting the opposition. This is where 'rucking', in rugby terms, was invented. There will be one or two sore bodies leaving the ground tonight.
0536 BST: Jill Douglas, Radio Five Live
If the 'Probables' played against Wellington on Wednesday, then surely tonight we are seeing the 'Possibles' in action against Otago. Clive Woodward says he will have a much clearer idea about his Test team after this match. Geordan Murphy will be hoping for a big game at full-back, as will Gordon D'Arcy at centre. Scrum-half Chris Cusiter is also pushing to be on the Test bench, while the back row also might be undecided. Hooker is another position that hasn't been inked in yet, so Gordon Bulloch, who captains the side, has a chance to impress. 0346 BST: Dave, Wellington
The first wave of Lions followers have created a wonderful impression here and they are a joy to talk to. The police have reported nothing but happy, well-behaved supporters in their thousands. Although legendary amounts of ale are being sunk, the streets are free of fights or rowdiness. Indeed the cops here are tickled pink by the number of Lions supporters, in red shirts and silly hats, who themselves turn out to be policemen in the UK. It was mentioned today that, when the Red Army come back to Wellington for the second Test, one campsite alone has about 1,000 campervan bookings. Go the Lions!

Im currently in NZ. Not here specifically for the rugby, but like the whole of NZ, you get caught up in it! The atmosphere everywhere is excellent. The cities, towns and villages are awash with All Blacks and Lions flags. They really know how to host an event. I went to see New Zealand in their warm-up game against Fiji. If that is anything to go by, then our Lions are in for three tough Test matches. I fully expect the rest of New Zealand to be as welcoming, colourful and dedicated to the Lions series as it's been so far.

I'm in the RAF and living and working with a bunch of Aussies and Kiwis. Not that that isn't enough, but the coverage we are getting on TV is headed up by the most biased set of southern hemisphere commentators who see nothing good or constructive in what the Lions are doing. The only way to make these tunnel-vision individuals eat humble pie is for our lads to do the talking on the field. The sooner that happens and we show them what we are all about, the better.
