The British and Irish Lions have now played 4 matches on their tour of New Zealand, and have won 2 and lost 2.
Their defeats to the Blues and the Highlanders have both been close affairs, on either side of a 12-3 victory against the Crusaders last weekend.
There is just over a week to go until the first test between the Lions and the All Blacks at Eden Park in Auckland, and on Saturday they take on the Maori All Blacks; a match which has historically been billed as the unofficial fourth test.
Ireland fly-half Johnny Sexton will start the game, ahead of England stand-off Owen Farrell, who's since withdrawn from the match with injury.
Meanwhile Peter O'Mahony will captain the side.
