Wellington coach not impressed by Lions

Wellington 6 Lions 23

Having gone down to the Maori in Hamilton last Saturday, the tourists got their tour back on track in the wind and rain that swept across the most southerly capital city in the world yesterday.

A try in each half, from Welshmen Gethin Jenkins and Gareth Thomas, both converted by Jonny Wilkinson, who added three penalties on his first start of the tour, was enough to see off a provincial powerhouse who were without four All Blacks in Jerry Collins, Conrad Smith, Rodney So’oialo and Tana Umaga.
