It was part of an impressive 34-10 win for the Lions over Waikato in Hamilton on Saturday afternoon, which lifted them to a commanding lead in the Championship division.

Meanwhile, the NZ under-20’s powerhouse Aumua has been rumoured to be a shoe-in for the All Blacks end-of-year tour, and eventual back-up for fellow Wellingtonian Dane Coles.
