The All Blacks await the Lions on Saturday morning live on Sky Sports 1

The British and Irish Lions have completed their final training session in Auckland ahead of Saturday’s first Test against New Zealand.

England fly-half Owen Farrell looked sharp as he was put through his paces by the coaching staff and he appears to have fully recovered from the thigh strain which caused him to cause him to miss last weekend's victory over the New Zealand Maori.

The Lions are seeking to become the first team to beat the All Blacks at Eden Park since 1994 and it will be exclusively live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7:30am.

If they are to pull off the upset, gaining the upper hand at the set piece will be key and forwards coach Steve Borthwick was hard at work with hookers Jamie George and Ken Owens on Friday, standing on a ladder as he made sure their line-out throwing was on point.
