Fuck the Māori are playing some great rugby!

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.

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

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.

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

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

[Grooter]

Good on ya Grace! man I love watching Shaun Stevenson

[nzzp]

[taniwharugby]

Going forward Harmon looking good...Grace looking sharp too

[Tim]

Stevenson brilliance followed by a shocker of a pass.

Doesn't want the focus all on Webber.

[Machpants]

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.
