Maori All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Match

[Dice]

Josh Ioane is shredding them.

Yes great rugby! Hope foster is taking some notes

[mariner4life]

i really like Cullen Grace.

[Machpants]

Need some yellow cards for the reserves getting into pitch, dickheads

[antipodean]

Jet lag, midweekers and end of season aside, Maori are looking very good this half.

[Mattasaurus]

SR refs could learn a thing or two from Barnes.
Particularly around the back of the rucks

[Tim]

Great quick ball.

[Gunner]

Fuck the Māori are playing some great rugby!

[Bones]

Sexy AF

shortening up the passing is making a huge difference in their success at the moment. 2 shorter passes to guys hitting the ball up is way more effective than 1 wide one to a guy standing still

Don't overlook a couple of offsides in a row just holding the Irish back a touch too

[Victor Meldrew]

Loving the precision in the Maori play - despite the weather. Very few mistakes.

[chimoaus]

Weber making a statement tonight as is Sullivan.

[Derm McCrum]

Well that’s game over. Time for work. Congrats Māori. Not looking forward to Sat.

Ireland B versus NZ C-

[Gunner]

Headless chicken stuff there, forwards needed to take ownership and do a couple pick and goes and give the team time to get their shape back.

Certainly not when it comes to looking at the last feet.

[taniwharugby]

Sweet!

[Gunner]

Oh wowee, another classic long range try!

[Machpants]

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