Mathewson puts in a probing box kick for Guildford to chase. Leiua covers but the ball beats them both and bounces into touch 15m from the Lions goal line.
Ngatai looked to make the gainline with a strong carry off an attacking line out. But even stronger defence from West and Mathewson held him up and won the turnover.
Interesting stat: The Lions have won their last 9 in a row but in 6 of those matches they have lost on possession and territory stats.
Hello and welcome to this evening's coverage of the ITM cup. This, the last stage of the round robin sees the Magpies play host to Wellington. Last time these sides met in 2012 Wellington ran out 30-15 winners, and so Paddy Power have opened the spread at10 points. But an impressive performances from Ihaia West and Zac Guildford last time out will make sure Wellington earn everyone of those 10 points today. In the Magpies side Zac Guildford has ousted Spooner-Neera and fills the 15 jumper. While in the Wellington side, Cory Jane steps up his return and comes into the starting XV.
With the likes of Savea, Jane and Vito the Lions have quality throughout and will ultimately prove too strong of the Magpies. Be sure to stay tune for live updates!
