Lions face a daunting task of facing New Zealand at Eden Park

The British and Irish Lions will face a daunting task of facing All Blacks in two out of the three Test series at Eden Park in Auckland where New Zealand enjoy a win percentage of over 86.

The last time New Zealand failed to record a win at the venue was in 1994 during the game against South Africa which ended in 18-18 draw and their last defeat came against France when they went on to lose 20-23 but since they are on a 37-match winning streak.

The next instance where All Blacks were pushed was during the 2011 World Cup final and it was France once again, who came close but succumbed to a 8-7 defeat.

New Zealand assistant coach Ian Foster admitted that Lions will have to bring their best game out, if they are to outclass the home side on their favourite venue.

"It (record) adds a variable to use before the game on Saturday," All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster said.

"We love playing there. It has always been a special ground for New Zealand rugby as a whole.

"We have to play well on Saturday. If we are to add to the legacy of Eden Park, we are going to have to play well.

"There is something about playing in front of our home crowd. They are passionate and they love the All Blacks playing well. This will be special because a significant percentage will be in red (Lions fans), and it will be a special occasion because of that."
