As it happened: NZ Maori v British and Irish Lions

Join us for live updates of the Lions' clash with the New Zealand Maori in Rotorua.

The Maori earned a famous victory over the Lions on their last tour to these shores in 2005, and will be seeking to repeat that feat tonight at Rotorua International Stadium.

Coach Colin Cooper has named a strong side for the clash, featuring several players on the fringes of the All Blacks squad, while Lions coach Warren Gatland has also selected an imposing team.

The tourists are almost at full strength as they seek to bounce back from Tuesday night's loss to the Highlanders and record their third victory from five games on this tour.
