Stevenson brilliance followed by a shocker of a pass.

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.

Has a funny running style. Doesn't look to be putting much effort in but is deceptively quick.

[stodders]

@Duluth ABs were "smashed" in Dublin last November and the Irish performance was savoured in the NH as a standout. Do the AB performances now get an asterisk against them?

Anyone else's Stan coverage constantly dropping to SD?

It's been happening to me for the past 2 months. Only on the live coverage, replays are fine.

[taniwharugby]

What is the TJ holding, it ain't a flag, looks like a big old red card...

[nzzp]

woo! That's the worst kick

We jinxed Zarn with praise
