Love that Bundee O’Aki is pointing at the IRFU symbol, I guess to make sure every knows he’s playing for them and not the Maori ABs!

Some experience on the Irish bench too with Healy, Murray and Carbery

Two teams he has no links to.

I guess James Lowe & Jamison Gibson-Park will be playing in the test on Saturday, but it would have been awesome to see them in this game.

TBH I wouldn’t want to play against the Maori team.

Looks like there could be some rain around for the game.
MABs coach mentioned that was part of the selection consideration

Seems a bit of a middle finger to the coaches, captain and players from his old team.
No motivation lacking then.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but tonight's game is also live on Prime. Useful for anyone in NZ who wants to watch but doesn't have Sky TV/SSN.

@Bovidae Hadn't read/heard that before!
I didn't know either until I saw it listed today.
Light rain falling now, but hopefully that ends before KO.

This just reminded me to double check that Stan is showing the match ... thankfully yes it is.

I’m not sure if it was originally on the cards to show this one, but there was a bit of an email/social media campaign applying some gentle pressure!
