I'll add Stephenson's pass to worst of the year, so far

Doesn't want the focus all on Webber.

A few plays ago, late Aki shoulder not picked up. You can take the South Aucklander out of Auckland....

[Kirwan]

Some magic trys in this game.

Mrs Kirwan just who the old guy was. Umm sorry Cullen.

And some calm brilliance by Harmon

[Crucial]

Well Barnes certainly doesn’t care about hands on the ground at the ruck as much as our Super Rugby refs. Hope the ABs take note.

Might be too cool to train at passing.

Seriously in all the years of seeing him play I had no idea he was so quick, he’s usually trying to be too cool/casual. Brilliant run.

Really saved it. No panic

[No Quarter]

Great half of rugby, really entertaining despite the weather. Maori playing the house down. Love Zarn Sullivan, future AB written all over him. Very classy player.

@nzzp some players just look like they were made for the highest level, and Zarn is one.

Reminds me of Larkham, always seems to have a lot of time on his hands.

Perofeta has obviously been great, but the Blues really missed those huge kicks from Zarn. Has future all black written all over him.

I’d have Grace in the ABs over PGS too.

Was Zarn originally a 1st5 at age group?

[Duluth]

Some good performances from the Maori but this has been poor from the Irish

Lack of depth? Or is this a tired squad at the end of their season?

[taniwharugby]

Maori set peice humming too.
