Māori All Blacks Return to Face Japan XV – Watch Live on NZR+

The Māori All Blacks are set to reignite their rivalry with Japan XV in what promises to be another thrilling clash – and fans around the world can catch every moment live.

Yes! I was searching Stan and couldn't find it so was worried we wouldn't get it in Oz.

[Number 10]

[Nepia]

Not relevant to anything but that seems a weird way to list Reihana's iwi, the South Island iwi is splitting the two that share the same space.

Also, I'm surprised so many of them have only one iwi in this day and age.

Anyway to stay on topic, there's four locks in that team. Who is the loosie back up out of Delaney and Gallagher Canes fans?

[Bones]

@Nepia didn't Howden used to cover 7?

[Bovidae]

Delany has played a lot at 6. Grace is the likely 7 cover.

[Daffy Jaffy]

[Canerbry]

Nowhere near enough Kāi Tahu players, we're doomed, but it's nice to be wearing a Crusaders away jersey.

[Duluth]

Starting now

[Bones]

Be interesting to see which team Dickson judges as PI and penalises the most.

Picture quality is a bit shit on NZR+

Yeah, it's a bit blocky, like watching a Rugbypass stream a decade ago.

Lovely punt by Reihana

[Bones]

Looks like it's the Maori going to have to put up with Dickson. No lift at the ruck he deems, despite the reason being the player on the ground didn't release.

[Mattasaurus]

lovely try by Japan

[Bones]

That was quite the display of average defence.

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent counter attacking try

[Duluth]

Stupid option

[Steven Harris]

What the hell was that from Wrampling ?
You ain’t that good to be trying an outrageous pass like that

[Bones]

Wrampling decides he's just playing touch down the park.
