They will need to execute their strategy effectively and capitalize on their strengths while managing the mental pressure of playing at Eden Park.
Ep. 160 - Can the Wallabies end the All Blacks Eden Park fortress? with Daryl Gibson
Q: Daryl, how do you feel in a week like this?
It's a thrilling atmosphere, especially since both teams have so much at stake even though I'm not directly involved.
Ep.152 - Lions claim series after dramatic, controversial call sinks Wallabies
Q: Did sleep affect your ability to play when you had 60-odd test matches for the Wallabies?
Yes, it was extremely important, especially late in my career, and it was alarming to see the difference one beer could make on my sleep.

Q: What do you think has been going wrong for Australian sides at this level?
Age. There's talent, but we don't have hardened men across the board.

Q: Would you like to see Samu Kerevi in the squad?
Yes, we need to have a look at him, see if the Japanese leagues softened him up a bit. But he's an experienced campaigner with over 50 tests.
