Japan XV v Māori All Blacks

[Bovidae]

Delany has played a lot at 6. Grace is the likely 7 cover.

[Daffy Jaffy]

[Canerbry]

Nowhere near enough Kāi Tahu players, we're doomed, but it's nice to be wearing a Crusaders away jersey.

[Duluth]

Starting now

[Bones]

Be interesting to see which team Dickson judges as PI and penalises the most.

[Bones]

Picture quality is a bit shit on NZR+

Yeah, it's a bit blocky, like watching a Rugbypass stream a decade ago.

[KiwiMurph]

Lovely punt by Reihana

[Bones]

Looks like it's the Maori going to have to put up with Dickson. No lift at the ruck he deems, despite the reason being the player on the ground didn't release.

[Mattasaurus]

lovely try by Japan

[Bones]

That was quite the display of average defence.

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent counter attacking try

[Duluth]

Stupid option

[Steven Harris]

What the hell was that from Wrampling ?
You ain’t that good to be trying an outrageous pass like that

[Bones]

Wrampling decides he's just playing touch down the park.

[Landers92]

TK Howden is a bloody handy player.

Japan look the much better team this opening 15 mins. Clearly extremely well drilled

[KiwiMurph]

This could be a long game for the Maori

Would rather see Taele at 12

[Mattasaurus]

MAB midfield look a bit vulnerable on D

[KiwiMurph]

Lovely use of space by Nock and Reihana

[antipodean]

That setup was well executed.
