"They're going to score points or certainly going to put a lot of pressure on to score points so we need to be able to reciprocate".
I thought that the playmakers.
The Lions have sent Stuart Hogg to be assessed by a specialist after he suffered a nasty cheekbone injury by clashing with Murray in Christchurch. He is probably the best nine in the world.
Farrell's passing game is a key threat and his combination with Sexton was promising.
"Guys will feel a little rushed to show their cards and all their best form, but guys must remember there are still two more Tests and a midweek game to prove yourself after that".
The 28-year-old believes he must boss the breakdown to fight his way into the Lions' Test team, as he revealed the lengths to which he went to overcome his ankle problem.
Warburton led the Lions to an historic series win in Australia in 2013 - but was injured for the last Test and replaced by Sean O'Brien.
Bath star Joseph was an 11th-hour inclusion in the Lions' 41-man touring party for the three-Test All Blacks trip, after head coach Gatland demanded his addition in last-minute selection meetings.
"I've never had it with another rugby player", said Ulsterman Henderson, who quickly realised Itoje's love of political debate when he discovered in Auckland that he is coming to the end of a degree in African politics. "At this level when you explain something to a group and you think you're talking to just a certain minority, the rest of them tend to listen as well and pick it up".

Tuesday's hearing was followed by predictably partisan reaction from Republicans and rival Democrats. The Justice Department has maintained that it would be inappropriate to indict a sitting president.
"But we are ready to get battle-hardened for a test match, we are still ramping it up in training because we have to be up to breakneck speed for the first test".
The big thing was they dominated possession and their defence was outstanding. "I guess I have to deliver in that area on Tuesday".
The Lions may have to adapt their approach, or at least come with a different attitude in regard to how wide they are willing to move the ball. That is what Eddie Jones has done with England, recognised the natural strengths of the game there and brought them to bear.
I agree with what Warren Gatland has done - you have to give every player a start - so they are familiarising themselves with playing together, and the hardest bit is the timing of runs and support lines in attack when it's fractions of a second that make the difference.
"It definitely felt like that with the team that played tonight". That's why I find it so fascinating.
"Sam Warburton hadn't had a lot of rugby under his belt so it was important to get him involved for this game".
The Lions conceded three tries to the Blues, only to keep a Crusaders team which had been averaging 37 points per game tryless and down to three points for the first time in a home game.
"In Super Rugby they pre-load". Is that the case in worldwide rugby?
The Lions overcame a awful record in Christchurch on Saturday and will hope to do the same in Dunedin, where they have won two of eight Tests, all at Carisbrook.
