OLLIE LAWRENCE experienced New Zealand for the first time as a schoolboy now he is aiming to teach the All Blacks a lesson.

He will put his record - played five, won three, lost two on the line against New Zealand this morning in Dunedin on his second tour here.
Seven years ago, Lawrence took in a Highlanders game against the Reds at the Forsyth Barr Stadium, venue for today's opening clash, and was in the stands when the Lions tied the epic series with the All Blacks, with a dramatic 15-15 draw in Auckland.
