The New Zealand Maori side that will face the Lions on Saturday night is a strong one, with nine All Blacks named.
The team is littered with stars and would no doubt be competitive with any other Test side in the world.
James Lowe, Nehe Milner-Skudder and Rieko Ioane form a power packed back three, with Charlie Ngatai and Matt Proctor lining up in the centres.Damian McKenzie will steer the ship at flyhalf inside of Tawera Kerr-Barlow, with Liam Messam, Elliot Dixon and Akira Ioane packing down in the backrow.
Tom Franklin and Joe Wheeler will start in the second row, while Ben May, Ash Dixon and Kane Hames will start in the front row.
It's a formidable starting XV but Warren Gatland has named a similarly strong starting XV as the tourists ramp up their preparations.Leigh Halfpenny, Anthony Watson and George North will look to match the attacking firepower of the Maori back three, with Ben Te'o and Jonathan Davies tasked with limiting the impact of Ngatai and Proctor.
Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton start in the halves, with Taulupe Faletau, Sean O'Brien and Peter O'Mahony lining up in the backrow.
George Kruis and Maro Itoje will start in the second row, with Tadhg Furlong, Jamie George and Mako Vunipola looking to assert some dominance in the front row.
