I guess James Lowe & Jamison Gibson-Park will be playing in the test on Saturday, but it would have been awesome to see them in this game.
Henshaw and ringrose in the midfield I guess.
This match should be pretty close, that’s a raw Ireland team.

Love that Bundee O’Aki is pointing at the IRFU symbol, I guess to make sure every knows he’s playing for them and not the Maori ABs!

Some experience on the Irish bench too with Healy, Murray and Carbery

Two teams he has no links to.

TBH I wouldn’t want to play against the Maori team.

Seems a bit of a middle finger to the coaches, captain and players from his old team.
No motivation lacking then.
