The British and Irish Lions knows the important of putting All Blacks winger Waisake Naholo under pressure on high ball ahead of their second test match this Saturday.

Naholo was heavily analyzed by rugby pundits in New Zealand after he helped the Highlanders beat the Lions in Dunedin.

The Highlanders winger ticked all the boxes on high ball and breaking tackles but the real question weather he can still produce that in an open field with rain and wind.

Naholo says he is ready for whatever the Lions will give on Saturday night.

The All Blacks will take on the British and Irish Lions at 7.35pm Saturday.
