2nd half under way as Wellington kick off

The half time hooter sounds and its Wellington with a commanding lead going into the shed. The home side have seen plenty of the ball but, have unable to convert the possession and territory into points. Wellington have created and finished their chances well , and have plenty left in the tank which spells danger for the Stags. 2nd half to follow shortly

Wellington turn over the possession at the ruck and launch a venomous counter with hooker Aumua putting in a strong run with a couple of fends before offloading to the inside center who goes over for the 5 pointer

Just a little under 2 minutes left and Wellington attack

After consulting the TMO the try is awarded to the burly hooker who worked hard to get the ball grounded after a strong drive from the line out.

The Lions drive the ball over the line and looked to have scored but, the ref indicates that the ball is held up over the line and goes to the TMO to get clarity on the matter.

Wellington find touch 5m fromthe Southland line and are on the drive after a clean take
