Manawatu knock it on after a good maul and Wellington have one last chance to win the game. The clock has moved past the 80 minute mark.

Huge penalty to Manawatu as they get their hands on the ball and it wasn't released.

What an angle by the big man as he smashes his way over from 5m. Curtis came close initially but managed to make the ball available.

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Wellington offsides at the ruck in an attempt to force a mistake and they concede 3 points. They are 2 scores away now and will be chasing the game in the remaining 9 minutes to get a positive result

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

10 minutes to go and Wellington trail by a converted try.

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Big scrum by the Turbo's but the Lions manage to get the ball to Perenara who sets up Woodward running from deep on the right hand side. There is a large gap that he powers through to score

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

The Lions held up over the line and under the posts. This is a perfect position for an attacking scrum and opportunity to get back into this game

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Advantage to Wellington as they mount yet another attack. They are passing many of their balls behind the player as Manawatu use some rush defence on them. The pressure is telling but they do have an attacking line out 7m out

Another midefield mismatch as too many tight 5 players were defending against backs and it was another simple show & go to set up the try for Booth. Solid break initially by Nathan Tudreu
