Rotorua - Leigh Halfpenny booted the British and Irish Lions to a convincing 32-10 win over the Maori All Blacks on Saturday to regain precious momentum ahead of next week's first Test against New Zealand.
After turning 12-10 ahead, a penalty try soon after half-time and try from lock Maro Itoje - when the Maori had a man in the sin-bin - gave the Lions complete control at a wet Rotorua. Halfpenny kicked six penalties and a conversion.
"It's important for our momentum, our confidence," said Lions captain Peter O'Mahony.
