The British and Irish Lions‘ up and down tour of New Zealand rolls on as they take on a Maori All Blacks team at the Rotorua International Stadium, Rotorua. The match is scheduled for kick-off at 5:35pm (AEST) on Saturday, June 17.
The Lions have struggled to get any consistency early on tour, winning two of their matches and dropping the other two. With the Test matches against New Zealand just around the corner, this shapes as another key build-up match.
The Maori team, coached by Colin Cooper, have nine players named in the All Blacks squad for their three-Test series against the Lions, which gets underway next weekend.
