With Gethin Jenkins and Julian White either side of Byrne, the Lions have finally hit upon their Test front row and no one deserves it more than the Leinster hooker.
With Jenkins and White, Byrne formed a dominant front row in the scrums, many of which Wellington felt the need to spoil, forcing referee Paul Honiss to either reset or award free kicks and penalties from.
It was a good day all round for the Lions front row, as Jenkins' first-half try topped a performance that saw him rampaging all over the pitch and White dominate his side of the scrum while also throwing his weight behind the Lions' driving maul.

As expected, Jonathan Humphreys returns to captain the side in the middle of the front row, while two former captains, Gareth Llewellyn and Colin Charvis, have been recalled to the exclusion of Steve Williams and Gareth Thomas.
The selection of Jenkins, hitherto an out-and-out loose-head, is something of a gamble - waged on brute force rather than technique - and is perhaps more a statement on Evans's form to date, as well as the condition of Martyn Madden, who only returned from six weeks' absence last weekend.
"Gethin has not had a lot of experience at tight-head," conceded Hansen yesterday, "but his performance two weeks ago warrants him getting a start.

 Sport | Wellington 6 - 23 Lions
The Lions scored a try in each half, first from Gethin Jenkins and then from Gareth Thomas, but perhaps more importantly, the forwards were utterly dominant for the first time this tour.
Julian White, Shane Byrne and, in particular, Jenkins - voted man of the match - staked powerful claims to Test spots, and Simon Easterby and Martin Corry were also instrumental in ensuring the Lions enjoyed almost total territorial domination.
What the Lions did with their possession, however, was not always convincing, as the backs frequently failed to find the level of fluidity that will be needed to beat the All Blacks.

Jenkins, however, can look back on his association with Kiwis for helping him get to where he is today.

 Wales to target Wallabies scrum : thewest.com.au
Wales coach Gareth Jenkins and prop Gethin Jenkins claimed the Wallabies' pack had yet to recover from last year's demoralising spring tour of Europe and remained vulnerable.
Coach Jenkins says he expects the Australian scrum to improve between now and the two teams' key World Cup pool match in Cardiff in a little more than 11 months' time.
Prop Jenkins agreed, saying although giant tighthead Rodney Blake had done a good job helping shore up the scrum since making his international debut in June, Australia's pack should still expect to be targeted as a weakness on Saturday.
