Wellington smash Counties to retain Jonah Lomu Memorial Trophy DAVID LONGGETTY IMAGES Wes Goosen was just one of the Wellington players that Counties struggled to contain. Wellington have retained the Jonah Lomu Memorial Trophy for another year, thrashing Counties Manukau 53-12 in Pukekohe. Playing in retro jerseys, similar to the ones Lomu used to don for the Steelers, Counties started the game the brighter. As Vaea Fifita scored Wellington's third try, in the 37th minute, the Counties players were looking dead on their feet. Wellington 53 (Isaia Walker-Leawere, Malo Tuitama, Vaea Fifita 2, Billy Proctor, Asofa Aumua, James O'Reilly 2 tries; Jackson Garden-Bachop pen, 5 cons).
