The Lions team has now been announced for the second Test and has the mood improved in New Zealand?

Or are New Zealanders still in bullish mood ahead of the make-or-break contest?

To Sparky, my countryman. I'm sorry you prefer our somewhat protracted, overly complicated, watered down version of the game they play in Heaven. But immitation is the most sincere form of flattery, even if it is a bad immitation. You'll probably not see flagrant retaliation from the Lions for the shady hit on O'Driscoll. Why play shorthanded when the opposition is hard enough to contain with a full complement of players? Besides, this is rugby, not NASCAR. In rugby, what goes around generally comes around. That's why God, in His infinite wisdom, created the bottom of the ruck.

Reacting to Graham Henry's decision to make three changes in the backs for the second Test:
I'm surprised. I thought it was a methodical, clinical performance last week. The fact he is taking his scrum-half (Justin Marshall) out and he is replacing his full-back (Leon MacDonald) and a wing (Doug Howlett) as well, it does beg the question why? I think a lot of people were surprised, albeit (Byron) Kelleher's a world-class player and (Mils) Muliaina is a world-class player and Rico Gear has been in scintillating form throughout all the Super 12s. I can understand that the boys deserve their place, but not this week, next week.

Ryan Jones is earning huge plaudits, not just from the Lions supporters but from the Kiwis, too. They think he is fantastic. When the Kiwis start applauding you, you know you are doing a good job.

1910 BST: Sparky, New Hampshire
I love the football we have here in the USA rather than the upper class gentlemanly ethos of rugby. I could not believe that the nice Lions did not exact revenge for that tackle. The English and Irish are wimpish. The ABs, like the Welsh, have the right attitude. It's eat or be eaten, so let's hope the Lions are nice and hungry on Saturday.

I'm looking for anywhere in Prague to watch the game on Saturday. Anything? Dry your eyes boys, why are we dwelling on whether they are guilty or not? For God's sake, why do you think they call us Whinging Poms? We have a good, not great, team out this weekend, and call me biased but why isn't Stephen Jones playing? His familiarity with those around him should count for a lot. The same goes for Shane Byrne - it's very easy to blame a hooker but for those unfortunate few who've played there, it should be clear that with new/bad calls, poor lifting and mistimed jumps, you will never hit your man. And while I'm on a rant, please use this site to protest against the playing of that terrible anthem.

RE: Undercover Kiwi at 1230 BST - Johnson was dropped by his coach (SCW ). Has Henry had the courage to do something similar? The O'Driscoll tackle was a wake-up call to me about whether I still wanted to watch rugby. As long as I can remember, Lion Tours to NZ have been kicked & punched about the pitch - even those heroes of 1971. I'm glad to hear that it is not AB policy to maim players but surely the emphasis on BIG hits/tackles has to be addressed by the IRB. Glad to hear Syd Millar say so, but to wait until after the 2007 RWC? I have waited 12 years for this tour and remember the excitement of going into the 3rd Test at Auckland in 1993. Let's hope we all can experience that again. Roar, Lions, Roar!

Just when you thought the Lions had tried every trick in the book to distract attention away from their stunningly inept performance in Christchurch they accuse the All Blacks of cheating in the line-outs. Strange that, because every referee spoken to says the All Blacks had the edge because they used the rules to their advantage - a big difference to cheating. Perhaps the paranoid Clive Woodward should just ensure his lineout calls don't change a day before this Test match.

1415 BST: Vijay Math, Mumbai, India
The silly season has started early. Sir Clive is accusing the ABs of having more men in the lineout. Whatever next? He'll be accusing us of wearing black shirts and doing an intimidating war dance before the match.

I would like to congratulate the well-behaved Lions supporters that came to Palmy for the game against Manawatu. It was good to meet people from all over Britain. They were all here for a good time and I enjoyed their company in the local bar. Bravo!!

RE: Elliott from Perth's comment. Yes, there is something in it: the Scots have only been picked to face the weaker sides!

1401 BST: Gareth Davies, Kobe (sometimes Tokyo), Japan
This is to David in Osaka, which is not the greatest city in the world for doing much of anything. But you might want to try Murphy's Irish Pub. Can't guarantee it will show rugby - but the one in Tokyo does. Otherwise get down to Tokyo Sports Cafe in Roppongi where LOTS of people will be watching. Lions to win by eight points on Saturday - I LOVE the look of this team.

1345 BST: Paul, BBC Sport blogger, Wellington
Tuesday saw over 900 Lions fans gathered in the Overseas Passenger Terminal in the Wellington harbour district to watch the Manawatu game, which was very well received. And, although a loud cheer greeted the 100 point breakthrough, the biggest cheer of the evening had to be when Gordon Bulloch threw in to the first lineout and managed to find his jumper. Why Thompson and Byrne have subsequently been named in the team for the second Test remains a mystery, when neither can even draw a barn door never mind hit one.

Wednesday's team announcement did lay to rest a few worries which had come to the surface when Jeremy Guscott was spotted in the Brewery bar with a mobile phone glued to his ear - although there was some scepticism, the possibility that Guscott was being called up to replace BOD couldn't entirely be discounted given Sir Clive's somewhat erratic selection policy.

Thursday saw many of the fans visiting vineyards in the Martinborough area, famous for its pinot noir output, and several coaches heading east to view seal colonies and the rugged coastline. Wellington is turning red, and the locals are beginning to realise just how many fans are travelling. Roll on Saturday, and hopefully a memorable recovery to secure a win for the Lions... if the lineout has been fixed.

Eddie O'Sullivan might be upset that Tana Umaga has not apologised to Brian O'Driscoll for his involvement in ending his Lions tour, but apologies aren't often forthcoming in rugby. After all, did Gordon D'Arcy apologise for his spear tackle on Rua Tipoki in the NZ Maori v Lions match? It was many times worse than the Umaga incident with the one difference - Tipoki escaped injury. Has Martin Johnson ever apologised to Justin Marshall for biffing him back in 1997? Marshall was the All Blacks' captain and Johnson didn't check on his wellbeing after nailing him. If O'Sullivan wants everyone to apologise for perceived misdemeanours on the rugby field then we'd best convene a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and have a big love-in.

1122: Elliott, Perth, Australia
Has anyone noticed that every game a Scotsman has played in on this tour the Lions have won, and every game where a Scotsman has not been selected, ie Lions vs Maori and Lions vs NZ, the Lions have lost. Is there something in that?

Saw an article regarding the Lions fan who tried to help the All Blacks fan having a heart attack - I am sure all our thoughts go out to the family of the fan who ultimately passed away... it helps us realise that we should look at the result with perspective. Here is a snippet of the article, which is from the Shropshire Star. "Nurse Fran Alty, of Whitchurch, rushed to help the 45-year-old when she heard the All Blacks supporter had collapsed. The 27-year-old fought to save the man's life for 20 minutes until an ambulance arrived..."

1001 BST: Martin Bayfield, BBC rugby expert
Christchurch, the venue of the first Test, was small and compact, so you could really feel the supporters there. Wellington, where the second Test will be played, is a very different place, spread out over a much bigger area, so you're not seeing the concentrations of supporters - yet. That will change at the "Cake Tin" on Saturday when all those clad in red will be hoping to acclaim players who could become new Lions heroes.

0932 BST: Ian Dobson, Orewa, Auckland
Has the mood improved? Slightly! Every Lions' fan living out here must have got some real stick on Monday at work and personally I don't fancy any more! It's bad enough that my children have to observe "blackout days" at school!! We know how to beat the AB's - keep Richie McCaw quiet and dominate the loose. Easy!! The locals are still well confident ahead of Saturday but are a little more wary now that there are a few more Welsh boys in the team. There seems to be a lot of respect for them after the Six Nations. In short, they had better win on Saturday since I have made promises that are physically impossible to keep if we lose!!

RE: Undercover Kiwi at 0315 BST. This puts into perspective that at the end of the day its just a game. Some things are more important and we should all enjoy the spectacle for what it is. I'm sure everyone on all rugby sides will send their condolences to the AB fan who tragically lost his life.

0714 BST: Undercover Kiwi
Word of the Lions team for the second Test filtered through to the All Blacks at their media session which raised a few eyebrows. But Rico Gear was not too fazed when asked how he would cope with the jack-in-the-box that is Shane Williams, he's marked Orene Ai'i in the past who is one of the original hot-steppers. On the selection of two tiny wings for the Lions, expect the All Blacks to attempt some of those cross-field kicks to allow the strongly built Gear and the spring-heeled Sitiveni Sivivatu a chance to go to the air against the diminutive pair.

0606 BST: Mike, Paris
Just got home from NZ after watching the first Test. The point no-one is mentioning is that the ABs were much more physical in the first Test (besides "that tackle"). Agree SCW's second Test team has more skill, but the real question for me is, will they meet the AB's physical challenge? Finally, I thought the Kiwis were great hosts - very welcoming, good banter and great to be in a country were everyone loves their rugby. Is their media biased? Yes - but no more than ours.

0516 BST: Rick L, New Zealand
As a Pommie living in Wellington it has been a tough week at work I can tell you - I felt we were going to lose on Saturday but even so, I wasn't ready for the stuffing that followed. There's been some media focus on O'Driscoll's exit but the view of most Kiwis is that he should stop moaning and let the rest of the Lions get on with it ... Thankfully, I feel I can say that with second Test team looks good. Certainly in the 5/8ths (that's the backs to the rest us) they look much stronger than last week. I will be watching the game in Wellington and have confidence in Gareth Thomas pulling off a historic victory in his first Test as Lions captain - he'd better anyway as I've got 50 bucks on the match! Again!

0315 BST: Undercover Kiwi
Some heroic Lions fans are being sought by an All Blacks fan - so he can say thanks for trying to save his son-in-law's life. Three of the red-clad fans attending the first Test, two nurses and a doctor, administered CPR for 20 minutes in an effort to save the life of 45-year-old Tony Duncan who suffered a heart attack on the way to the match. Their efforts were in vain, but they disappeared into the crowd before Duncan's father-in-law could thank them.

0210 BST: David, Osaka, Japan
Does anyone have any idea where to watch the game in Osaka? It's a long shot but as a Kiwi starved of rugby, please help.

0124 BST: Dave, Richmond, Virginia, USA
I travelled 3,000 miles to see the Welsh boys play in Scotland this year. Now they have been given the opportunity Henson and Williams will tear apart the All Blacks as they did Scotland in March!

0002 BST: Martin Lennon, Philadelphia, USA
Well the bags are packed and heading for the airport in the morning. It is the end of six months on the wagon. Looking forward to the game Saturday. Team looks much pacier and we should be ready for a better contest.
