NZ Maori v Manu Samoa II

[Stargazer]

Errr, and than Stevenson butchers an opportunity.

[nostrildamus]

Kiss of death announcing but methinks the game itself is improving...

[Tim]

Weird decision to kick for goal.

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 i expect if we had had an inbound tour from the English, Irish or French, Hall would have been in the AB squad, or they'd have found a way to put TJ in

[Stargazer]

A Samoan and a Maori commentator for this game; Willie Lose for the ABs v Tonga game?

[Yeetyaah]

Yes Ken you're from Wainuiomata, we get it. Now shh.

He is an incredibly frustrating player. Brilliant and shit almost always seconds apart

@gt12 said in NZ Maori v Manu Samoa II:

I personally think Hall is the third best halfback in NZ. I know that he isn’t the future but he could still be playing in 2023. Must be a good tourist as he’d probably just love to be there.

Hall and Drummond must be the two most under-rated players in NZ of recent years. Both have been a massive part of the Crusaders success.

[Stargazer]

I want IWL to score; and then Ili.

[KiwiMurph]

Brilliant offloading

[Tim]

That Hall loopy pass from Hall was what he does with slow ball too often.

It's spelt STFU

@gt12 he's better than Christie.

And not a ginger Scot

[Old Samurai Jack]

Can we get the Maori coach to take over the ABs. Pick and go, exploiting the ruck fringes.............

[Tim]

IWL has looked good.

I think they're rated correctly. They do their role effectively but they're not the key to Crusaders success.

[antipodean]

Could Josh Ioane's form get any worse? It seems to have fallen off a cliff.

[Nepia]

Nankivell has looked like he wouldn't disgrace a Black jersey (without the red on the sleeves).

Same could be said of the Blues 9s. Just maybe not so often.

Clearly being banned from having piss ups at his place has negatively impacted him on the field.
