Unconvinced Henry claims tourists holding back for Test

ALL BLACKS coach Graham Henry insists he is taking little notice of the Lions’ low-key start to their New Zealand tour.

The Lions have so far done little to shake off their underdogs tag for the three-Test series which begins in Christchurch on Saturday week.

Although opening opponents Bay of Plenty and Taranaki were eventually defeated comfortably, the Lions experienced prolonged periods of strife in both games.
