The British and Irish Lions continue their preparations ahead of the first Test with New Zealand next week with a tough-looking tour match against the Maori All Blacks.
It's the penultimate warm-up match before the series opener at Eden Park and Warren Gatland will hope his side can claim a morale-boosting victory having lost two of their four games so far.
However the Maori All Blacks, who were the only side to beat the Lions outside of the Tests on their last tour of New Zealand in 2005, have named a strong starting line-up and this is expected to be another firm examination for the visitors.

England fly-half Owen Farrell will miss Saturday's Maori All Blacks clash with a "grade one" quad injury - and the Lions will hope he can recover in time to face New Zealand in Auckland on June 24.
Wales fly-half Dan Biggar will replace Farrell on the Lions' bench for Saturday's Maori clash in Rotorua.
Johnny Sexton will now start against the Maori but should Farrell fail to recover in time for the first Test, then Sexton would be almost certain to wear the Lions' number 10 jersey.
Ireland flanker Peter O'Mahony will captain the Lions against the Maori, with Sam Warburton on the bench as he continues to shake off recent ankle trouble.
Wales star Leigh Halfpenny will start at full-back on Saturday in prime position to nail down the 15 shirt for the Test opening.
The Maori All Blacks have selected nine New Zealand internationals in a strong side.
The backline includes three of the most exciting of the younger generation of All Blacks backs - Nehe Milner-Skudder, Damian McKenzie and Reiko Ioane, along with centre Charlie Ngatai and scrum-half Tawera Kerr-Barlow.
James Lowe, the full-back moving from the Chiefs to Leinster at the end of the season, has also got the nod.
Veteran loose forward Liam Messam (43 Tests) adds strength to the pack along with flanker Elliott Dixon and prop Kane Hames, with hooker Hika Elliott on the bench.
Maori All Blacks v Lions odds
Price Boost: Watson to score a try anytime and Lions to win - 3/1 from 9/4
The British and Irish Lions are 8/15 favourites with Sky Bet to claim their third win of the tour on Saturday while the Maori All Blacks are 13/8 to inflict a bruising blow. The draw is 20/1.
A third defeat since they landed would no doubt knock their confidence ahead of next week's opening Test, especially having seen how New Zealand destroyed Samoa 78-0 on Friday.
The Lions have a 5-point deficit to make up in the regular handicap market, in which you can back both teams at evens, while there are other lines such as the Maori All Blacks at 13/8 with just a one-point start.
Reiko Ioane is 11/1 favourite to score the first try of the match while Lions duo Antony Watson and George North can both be backed at 11/1.
There's a whole host of RequestABet specials to check out including:
Both teams to score 20 points or more and Lions win - 5/2
The post to be hit via a conversion/drop goal/penalty & a yellow card to be shown - 5/2
Reiko Ioane and Akira Ioane both to score a try anytime & Maori win - 20/1

Maori All Blacks v Lions: Key Quotes
LIONS
Warren Gatland on Jonny Sexton: "Johnny needs more rugby and we're building on that. He was really good off the bench against the Crusaders the other day and the combination of 10 and 12 was pretty seamless.
"He was just down a little on confidence but he's got a bit of his mojo back, and we wanted to give him a start against the Maori."
On Wales star Leigh Halfpenny: "It's an opportunity as well for him to show what experience he has got. His counter-attacking and scoring tries has improved significantly, that's kind of what we need from a 15. We know how strong he is defensively, but it's the attacking threat we're looking for him to add to us on Saturday."
On Sam Warburton's chances of making the first Test: "Sam's well aware of the competition that is there at the moment. He fully understands that that loose forward trio (O'Mahony, O'Brien and Taulupe Faletau) went outstandingly well against the Crusaders.
"The challenge for them is to repeat it. And if they do it again, we'll make what we think is the right selection for the Test match. One of the reasons we selected him as captain of the squad is that he is an absolute quality player.
"But this tour isn't about Sam Warburton, it's about putting the squad first. If he's not involved in the first Test because of the performance on Saturday night he will fully understand that.
"But he'll get some game time and some opportunity to keep improving his match fitness because he hasn't had a lot of rugby in recent weeks. This is important for him. He got a run-out against the Highlanders, I thought he was good for a long period of the game.
"Sean O'Brien hasn't had a lot of rugby either. So they'll both get game time and Sam gets another chance on Saturday night to come and perform. Peter will continue to lead the team (if Warburton comes on); I think that's only fair.
"You wouldn't change your match captain to your tour captain as he comes on the field. Sam's comfortable with that. I don't think that's the right thing, that's not the normal way that would happen.
"Sam's character is hugely helpful; sometimes guys will be disappointed, one or two may feel they haven't had a chance. That's the hardest thing about going on tour. But it's how you deal with that. We want people disappointed if they are not selected, but it's then how you deal with that and how you respond. You've got to put that behind you, and be a positive influence and positive character around the squad. So far we've seen that."
On Lions captain Peter O'Mahony:"I think sometimes it's not something that you can quantify, what Munster bring to a game. It's a special pride, sometimes the performances they can produce, (they've) done consistently over the years - being able to dig deep and bring performances from places where individuals and collectively people often can't do. That's what Peter will bring to the team on Saturday."
Steve Borthwick on Owen Farrell's latest status: "He didn't train today, he's had a grade one muscle strain. The medical team will take great care of him. Hopefully he'll be back on the field as soon as possible.
"When exactly it happened, I can't tell you. It was felt yesterday, dealt with immediately, and he went into recovery protocols straight away. I listen to our medical team who are far more qualified than I am. He'll be back as quickly as he's fit and able."
Peter O'Mahony on his big chance as Lions captain: "I didn't think I was going to get picked for the Lions. I didn't think I had played enough rugby before then. I don't know if that was fairytale (beating England). I have put a lot of hard work into my career and you have got to take your opportunities when they come.
"Sometimes they are unfortunate for other guys but it doesn't matter, you have to be selfish. Sometimes you have to play well when you need to play well and that day (against England) I played all right. It wasn't just that day. I would like to say I have played some good games for Munster as well this season.
"I was only just told about being captain on Saturday, so I need to get that sunk in first," said O'Mahony, when asked if he could lead the Lions' Test side. I will worry about our performance on Saturday, that is the main thing.
"The way Lions tours go, guys get opportunities. You might get one or two or you might get three. This is my third game I have been involved in and this is my opportunity. This is my third time that I get a chance to show what I can do and that is what I am worried about.
"I had a couple of setbacks with the knee injury, obviously. But I never said I wanted to play for the Lions at the end of this, I never said I wanted to get back to play for Ireland. I just wanted to get back training for the lads and get stuck in. And that's what I did.
"Obviously Paul O'Connell was hugely influential on my career, I played with him since I started at Munster. He was involved in nearly all of the games I've played with Munster and Ireland and he's a huge influence.
"Brian O'Driscoll was still there when I was playing with Ireland as well, and I could name lots more. Growing up, the Munster back-rowers, Paul Wallace and Axel (Anthony Foley), had a huge influence on my career.
"This is a chance and a way, maybe, of paying them back for the hard work they put into me."
MAORI ALL BLACKS
Maori All Blacks star Liam Messam on the squad's heritage: "We're bound by blood; we naturally come together as a group of brothers. But even so, we can't take that for granted, so it's about switching on together quickly and working on our plans in training.
"When you come into this environment you put away your Super Rugby colours and come together as one. The quicker we can do that we can use that to our advantage on Saturday.
"We'll make sure when we come together on Saturday we'll use the connections we have and our culture to bind us tightly."
Head coach Colin Cooper on whether his side will draw inspiration from the 2005 side that enjoyed in Hamilton 12 years ago: "Very much so. Again it's this team that's representing those guys, representing their exploits. That's inspiring.
"All these players want to represent the All Blacks, and I want to push as many of them as I can to that level.
"We want them to be proud of who they are and seize the opportunity to represent the Maori, and to aspire to be the best that they can, and that's to chase a chance with the All Blacks."
Rieko Ioane on turning the team base into 'Marae' - sacred meeting grounds and community focal points - complete with ornately carved totems: "The connection that the Maori All Blacks have is special and something you won't find anywhere else. We decorate our team room in the style of a Marae. That's different from how any other team operates.
"It keeps us connected by one purpose which is our culture and where we come from. It's special and certainly enhances the way we play on the field. We have our pillars of what keeps us together. Those special Maori customs give us a boost as players and it just adds to that special feeling we have as a team."
On how he and his brother Akira owe their careers to their dad, Eddie, who coached them right through junior rugby at Auckland's famed Ponsonby RFC: "Dad's been huge for us: growing up he was the number one person we looked to. He's always been our coach, he's been there, done that and played in a World Cup himself.
"So everything he's taught us leads us to where we are. We've taken it all on board. Ever since the Under-nines at Ponsonby he's been coaching me. And after every game we'd consult with him. All he has for us now is work-ons! But it's huge, that support.
"After a Saturday game we go home and on Sunday afternoon we sit down with Dad and discuss the game. He calls a spade a spade and shoots it pretty true, but we improve off the back of that and that's important."
Akira Ioane on their father's influcence: "Dad's our harshest critic; we may think we've had a good game but then we speak to Dad and we change our minds! He'll offer little pointers for things we could have done better.
"You're never going to have a perfect game of course. But it's massive for us to know that Dad's always there to bring us down from the clouds. He'll tell you straight, he's one that you trust, and his words, they stick."
The Maori claimed their first-ever win over the Lions back in 2005, and the Ioanes still cannot quite believe they have the chance to match that feat.
