    Lions are everything they were expected to be. They're very accurate and playing well within the limits allowed by Peyper. Great kicking game for the most part) by Murray, and Sexton is doing a great job.

    Maori just look nervous. They can't get anything going and have been inaccurate. They're lucky to have the points they do have.

    Rieko Ioane doesn't look anything, at all, like the future AB 11 on this performance.

    This dream backlibe doesn't have enough glue at the back. I'd consider sending Ngatai back to 15 and getting Thompson on, although having West with McKenzie at the back is more likely.

    @antipodean said in Māori All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions:

    @Billy-Tell Maori backline demonstrating why they're not first choice All Blacks.

    NMS has never been great in the air, Lowe looking like Super Rugby is indeed his level, and Ioane a bit anonymous.

    The Maori need to be more patient and keep some ball in hands. They look to be playing for territory, but each kick away, the Lions (Murray, Sexton, Halfpenny) just send a pinpoint box kick straight back. A 3 year old could have guessed these tactics, and I'm sure the Maori did, but dealing with it is another matter.

    Interesting game.

    Rieko one high ball miss and a couple of missed tackles chasing kicks - not nearly enough for an AB spot next week at this stage.

    Akira on the other hand has been really good. Really impressed.

    DMac and Lowe with some questionable decisions.

    Dixon has gone well at 7 I think - which makes sense give the Lions dont play with any width.

    Itoje, Murray, Sexton and Davies the Lions standouts for me.

    Lots of individual effort from MAB players, but combinations not there yet.

    @antipodean Hard to look good when they keep on kicking the ball away. To be fair, the forwards are not getting go forward ball and the slippery conditions is helping the Lions rush defence to even be more stifling than it usually is.

    Aimlessly kicking the ball away.

    One dumb decision after another and the Lions are playing the simplest level of rugby.

    The ball has to be out. It's not enough he has his hands on it. Tawera should know that.
