Manawatu 6 Lions 109

The Lions could field an all-Munster combination in their second-row for Saturday’s second Test against New Zealand in Wellington.

Shane Williams enhanced his Test credentials with a sparkling five-try performance as the Lions finally found some attacking form to rack up a century of points against Manawatu and claim their biggest ever win in New Zealand.

Manawatu coach Charlie McAlister has named just one player with Super 12 experience in his starting line-up to face the British and Irish Lions tomorrow.

The Bank Of England was today urged by both sides of industry to cut interest rates to give the economy a much-needed boost.
