Who should be the All Blacks' halves against British & Irish Lions?

The British & Irish Lions are just one game into their tour, and already there are questions about the tourists' ability to match it with the All Blacks.

The Lions registered a scratchy 13-7 victory over the NZ Provincial Barbarians in Whangarei on Saturday, with the locals showing they weren't overawed by some of the reputations standing opposite them.

The Lions next turn their attention to the Blues on Wednesday night in Auckland, with Warren Gatland's side set to face a strong line-up that features All Blacks Charlie Faumuina, Steven Luatua, George Moala and Sonny Bill Williams, though the cross-code star has been bracketed alongside TJ Faiane.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen will no doubt be keen to see Williams play given Ryan Crotty was injured in the Crusaders' last-gasp victory over the Highlanders at the weekend.

Crotty had been a clear standout in our midfield poll last week, the veteran centre registering 49 percent of the vote at No.12 while Malakai Fekitoa [31%] edged Anton Lienert-Brown [28%] at outside centre.

This week, it's time to cast your vote for the All Blacks' halves combination.

Reigning World Player of the Year Beauden Barrett has again been in outstanding form at No.10 for the Hurricanes but the debate over who should wear the All Blacks' No.9 jersey is heating up.
