WELLINGTON (Reuters) - British and Irish Lions prop Mako Vunipola once dreamed of representing his native New Zealand but will battle hard on Saturday to stop the All Blacks from sealing the three-test series with a game to spare.

Wellington-born Vunipola grew up idolising All Blacks winger Jonah Lomu, while his father Fe'ao, a former Tonga captain, once described his son as the 'next Olo Brown', a nod to the 56-test All Blacks prop.
