Livestream: Losi Filipo quits Wellington Lions

Wellington Rugby will be holding a press conference following the cancellation of disgraced Lions player Losi Filipo's contract.

Mr Filipo, 18, was given a discharge without conviction in relation to serious assaults on four people in October last year.

That caused outrage amongst the community and pressure on the Wellington Lions to react.

In a statement late this afternoon, the Wellington Rugby said Mr Filipo and the organisation had "mutually agreed" to terminate the contract.

Newshub will be livestreaming the conference which is set to start at 5:45pm.
