British and Irish Lions fans are out in force again as they watch the latest tour encounter against Otago in Dunedin The Lions struggle to impose themselves on the game in the early stages and cannot break down Otago's defence Martyn Williams loses the ball as the Otago forwards continue to pile on the pressure The tourists fall behind but fly-half Charlie Hodgson slots over a couple of penalties to bring them back in it Ryan Jones, playing his first match of the tour after being called up as a replacement, enjoys a fine match Otago move into a 13-6 lead before Will Greenwood levels things up with a try right on the stroke of half-time The Lions up their game after the interval and Jones accepts a lovely pass from Shane Williams to score Replacement Ollie Smith is in full flight as the Lions constantly slice through the Otago backline Winger Williams does his chances of winning a Test place no harm at all with a display full of intelligent running Coach Sir Clive Woodward is thrilled with the 30-19 victory as the First Test is now less than a week away
