2019 Māori All Blacks

Stargazer

And now a try to Fiji. You could wait for that to happen. Almost 90% possession (if I saw that correctly).

7 - 0 Fiji

Stargazer

Ross Wright down for the 2nd time. He's already been off once for treatment.

Tim

Sounds like NZM can't hold on to the ball.

Stargazer

The big Fijian no. 8 v Fletcher Smith = bulldozed. Try Fiji.

12 - 0 Fiji

Stargazer

MABs 21 missed tackles - Fiji 1

Black sent to the bin.

Tim

@Stargazer Result of only being together for a week, or struggling with the conditions?

Stargazer

Try saving tackle from TTT.

KiwiMurph

Sounds like NZM can't hold on to the ball.

More like they won't hold onto the ball. Kicking every chance they can. Awful tactics.

Akira looks seriously unfit. Like he has been eating non stop.

Stargazer

@Tim It looks like it's due to being together for only a week.

KiwiMurph

This coverage makes you appreciate Sky.

Camera work is horrendous.

Stargazer

@KiwiMurph Yeah, and no TMO. I'd swear there were a few forward passes in the lead up to the 1st Fijian try.

KiwiMurph

A lot of arm tackling from the Maori.

Fiji attack has been really good - running hard and straight and great offloads

Stargazer

12 - 0 to Fiji at half time. Doesn't bode well for the 2nd half. Hope the bench can do what the starters can't. Some good cattle on the pine.

kiwiinmelb

Haven’t been able to watch all of it because I’ve been busy with other stuff but from the bits I’ve seen, bloody disappointing by the Maori

Stargazer

@kiwiinmelb Yeah, very messy and disorganised. No doubt, the lack of good preparation has a lot to do with it, but some are just playing very poorly.

kiwiinmelb

And at the same time we must compliment Fiji , look pretty organised structure wise to go with their natural flair

Stargazer

@kiwiinmelb Yes, they're playing well. It's like they're playing sevens. Fast and powerful.

KiwiMurph

What an awesome Fiji try.

Stargazer

Yeah, that was awesome! Fiji leads 22 - 0.

Black returns to the field.

Stargazer

Tahuriorangi replaced early by Hall.
