    It's only their 2nd game together and with a different line-up from last week. Not really surprising that it looks disorganised. No excuses for bad ball handling though. Should be able to play in this weather. Black, Christie and Bateman are okay.

        Tom Franklin not available huh?

        I saw him get injured against the US. A couple of minutes later Cooper brings Price on for Skeen. Franklin is forced to play on. Really smart Coops.

            @Wurzel Actually, James Lowe started it, not Ioane.

              @Stargazer It's not about who started it it's the fact whenever there is anything simmering away he'll be sure to get himself involved. Happened two minutes earlier with the high tackle.

                  Hopefully, Weber can do a better job than Guyton.

                    I hope DMac is better than his brother tomorrow, because Marty hasn't caught a ball all game. ... Finally, he has been replaced!

                        The Maoris should destroy that Munster team shorn of its Irish internationals. The Munster halves are a woeful combination. Pity Munster aren't remotely at full strength.

                        I give up!

                        Another week, another side with more passion, better tactics, a functioning lineout, better ruck work, superior back 3.

                        Maori deserved to lose.

                            Well, at least some of the Maori ABs have shown that they're not up to test level (yet). That answers some questions I suppose.

                              @Stargazer Not so much that it's a poorly coached side I think.
                              Looked like the players not ever trained together

                                Taught a lesson in wet weather rugby. You wonder if the weird Mitre 10 Cup laws havent helped - ironically championed by Colin Cooper.

                                Though that doesnt explain the poor lineout, kicking and handling.

                                Mckenzie and Guyton were particularly woeful.

                                    The Maori ABs are terrible! Only Otere Black can hold his head high. Another week another Irish team putting a NZ pack to the sword 😞

                                    Could be a blessing in disguise with the lions coming next year , generally speaking , we are very good at recognising defeciiencies and fixing them .

                                      I actually thought every maori player was poor! Real lack of effort especially the forwards who hardly hit any rucks and Munster were causing all sorts of problems.
                                      Marty McKenzie should be ashamed of that performance,surely got to be other options at full back

                                        Can one SR franchise recruit a player from another SR franchise when the player is still under a contract? Black's contract is until the end of 2017.

                                          I'm sure the Blues would've chased Black if he was available..
