So it’s now 19:30 local time which means I have less than a week left before I leave New Zealand and just under two weeks before I get back to Ireland. I’ve been busily snapping away on the camera and I’m now on page 3 of the photos!

I managed to get to the Second Test last weekend, which was incredible despite the result. The Lions had a great first 40 minutes and faded badly in the last 15 so the scoreline was unflattering but the Lions fans definitely won with regard to atmosphere. The crowd was at best (for the ABs) 50/50 so considering how few tickets Lions fans got allocated we did well to get so many there. I’ve managed to get tickets for next weekend too so looking forward to that too. People may knock the Tour as the worst ever or whatever in the papers at home but it’s great fun all the same. (It probably helps that I’m used to teams I support losing!)

Anyway I’ll update again when I can, probably from Hong Kong!
