And the Lions fans were out in force to play their part in setting a new record, joining in with New Zealand supporters.

The attempt has not yet been ratified but organisers were confident it will fulfil the strict requirements for a world record.

And a huge number of Lions fans will be able to take their place in the record books having played their part in the bid.

The Lions went on to beat the Maori 32-10 in Rotorua in an entertaining encounter, and they will now head to Hamilton for a clash with the Chiefs on Tuesday.
