- 4123
The British and Irish Lions will face the Maori All Blacks at Rotorua Stadium in their 5th tour match on Saturday.
With that in mind, we have a look back at the last time these two sides faced off in 2005.
The visitors went ahead first through Stephen Jones' penalty, which was cancelled out by David Hill 17 minutes in.
The Maori All Blacks converted 2 further penalties before Leon MacDonald somehow got over the line for the first try of the match, the try was converted and the Maori All Blacks lead 16-3 after 58 minutes.
The Lions didn't give up and added a penalty before Brian O'Driscoll found a hole in the Maoris All Blacks' defence to score with 5 minutes left to play.
However, the Lions weren't able to complete the comeback as the Maori All Blacks held out to win the match 19-13.
