Māori All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions

[gt12]

They've done great to take advantage of the man up time. Now I'm really looking forward to next week.

Oh look, another ball dropped

[Stargazer]

Don't see Dmac in the AB 10/22 jersey any time soon. Or in any AB jersey for that matter.

Even if the Lions see this home, we haven't really learned anything.

This is how they have to play to beat a New Zealand team. You probably already knew that though.

[KiwiMurph]

Dmac has been absolutely shithouse.

It was a really tough ask for DMac to play 10 against a team that would bring test match intensity. However this and his appearance for the ABs has shown he struggles to cope at this level.

[Donsteppa]

DMac is over-hyped even for the Chiefs

[Crash]

This looks like a replay of the Black Ferns v England game. Ferns couldn't get any clean ball. And when they did get it, kicked aimlessly away

Whangarei Boys High 2nd XV would have put in a better performance than the Maoris.

Way to give the Lions some confidence, muppets!

[Crash]

@KiwiMurph To be fair the whole team has been pretty dire

[gt12]

Great for the ABs though. Can you beat their kicking game? Deal with their kicks? Scrum safely? Win set piece? Do that and the Lions are pretty easy to deal with.

Fuck up any of those areas and they'l ptessure you out of the game.

[MiketheSnow]

[KiwiMurph]

@Crash Agreed. Akira and Elliot Dixon are doing ok.

[Wreck Diver]

Look at both tight 5's on paper and there was always only one winner and they were not going to be wearing black.

[Mokey]

Can't believe how shit DMac and Lowe have been, then again, both out of position. Maori forwards haven't been much chop either. Really disappointing overall. They don't look like they have any kind of game plan.

[gt12]

@Wreck-Diver

I thought the Maori would have used the ball better though

Bugger, now I'll have to justify my throwaway comments..

[Wreck Diver]

@gt12 they haven't had any ball in the second half

[gt12]

My god, the Chiefs might want to start recruiting a new 10.
