5m attacking line-out to Lions. Rolling Maul time...

Tuipolotu was being attended to by the Dr's on the field the when Lions got a turnover and kicked the ball down field. He got up and ran to secure the ball and stop the Lions from retaining possession inside the Blues 22. He went back down and looks a little worse for wear.

Boshoff with an expansive cross field kick to Faf de Klerk of all people. The kick was too hard and ball runs over the dead ball line.

4th scrum and first straight feed by Piri Weepu sees the Lions win a tight-head.

A number of good kicks and runs but all in all this game is being played in between the 22's

3rd scrum, 3rd penalty. Lions looking to open the scoring here. Boshoff steps up.

Great ball retention by the Lions but eventually knock on 5m from the Blues line.

Lions on the charge here

All the pressure being placed on the home side by the Blues but there have been a number of turnovers from both sides. Braid knocks on at the line-out and we have our first scrum.

The Blues are out and Warren Whiteley leads the Lions out. We are moments away from kick off.
