WATCH: Sky Sports British & Irish Lions poem recited by Kirsty Gallagher and Co.

As the Lions look to level the series against the All Blacks in the second Test in Wellington, Sky Sports News HQ has produced a poem.

Written by Michael Weightman and recited by Kirsty Gallagher, Craig Slater, Jon Davies and Jamie Weir, get ready to watch the Lions' next battle in New Zealand live on Sky Sports 1HD from 7.30am on Saturday...

Baby steps aren't welcome here
Shrinking violets, stay away
We discount doubt and laugh at fear
The time has come, this is our day

Dreams are our friend no more
They offer only what may be
Free from chains we had before
The path we crave is free

Every seed and tree and branch,
Will boom along our route
Sunlit flowers will turn and dance
The barren bush will now bear fruit

Misfortune will not permeate
Success our crowning jewel
The chance to realise our fate
Today we march, tonight we rule
