The Māori All Blacks' tour to the Americas

@stargazer was that his dad that played for Ngati Porou East Coast back in the day..?

[Stargazer]

@steven-harris Don't know, but makes sense, since he is from Gisborne.

Yep.

[Stargazer]

And another one from Walker-Leawere.

[Steven Harris]

I reckon it would have been a much better game if Italy had played the USA and the Maori had played Ireland.

[Stargazer]

@steven-harris It's a pity this game is played outside the international window. The Eagles are missing quite a few of their Europe based players. It's also why Italy wasn't full strength (no Parisse, for example).

@taniwharugby said in The Māori All Blacks' tour to the Americas:

You lift a man off his feet, you put your time on the park in the hands of the ref.

9.18 A player must not lift an opponent off the ground and drop or drive that player so that their head and/or upper body make contact with the ground.

[Stargazer]

Was waiting for the intercept try, and Thompson is the one to score one.

[Stargazer]

Was Stevenson illegally tackled there? Or did he trip up?

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer accidental foot tangle. Not sure he would have got across anyway.

[Stargazer]

What's up with this ref? Why did he give Abel a YC?

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer professional foul in the red zone.

[Nepia]

Haha, it’s card city!

[Stargazer]

Haha, Brad Weber.

[Stargazer]

Jonah Lowe, try on debut. Great break from Akira.

[Nepia]

Lowe in after a kick through and catch by Akira who passed inside for Lowe to score.

Edit: first five kicked it not Akira.

[sparky]

Not able to watch. How has Akira gone?

[KiwiMurph]

@sparky Akira has been excellent.

[Stargazer]

@sparky Doing all his core roles well. That break was excellent.

[Machpants]

ref was pretty one eyed there, that's a deliberate *knock down to me
