Woody upbeat as Lions look to avoid 'Blackwash'
Having lost the first two Test matches to a rampant All Blacks side there would appear to be very little chance of reversing the tide, especially at a stadium where New Zealand feel most at home. Eden Park has not witnessed an All Black defeat since 1994 when Jean-Luc Sadourny helped France to a 23-20 victory and historic 2-0 series win with "the try from the ends of the earth."
A repeat of that from the 2005 Lions, or an All Blacks capitulation, would seem as likely as Brian O'Driscoll and Tana Umaga exchanging Christmas cards.
