The Bay of Plenty Steamers have won today's ITM Cup rugby match against Wellington at Baypark in Tauranga 32-0.
The win was the third in eight days for the province.
The Steamers cemented their spot at the top of the ITM Cup ladder with the win.
The Lions were kept scoreless for the entire match as the Steamers held firm on defence to deny their opponents any opportunity of crossing the tryline.
Toby Arnold scored before the fulltime siren to notch the bonus-point and his side's fourth victory on the trot.
Earlier, the homeside opened the scoring in the 5th minute when halfback Taniel Moa powered through a gap and brushed off Scott Fugistaller before sprinting 20 metres to score.
Moa had a hand in his side's second try, dishing the inside-ball back to Jake Pareanga to ghost through a gap and score from five metres out.
Their third try came in the 33rd minute, as their pick-and-go drive racked up huge metres in the middle of the park before they spread wide to centre Phil Burleigh who crossed untouched.
First-five Chris Noakes kicked two conversions and a penalty.
