2019 Māori All Blacks

[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]

@Stargazer agreed.

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.

[Steven Harris]

The only time I have noticed Akira Ioane was dropping a pass which lead to the first Fijian try and missing a tackle which was an awful attempt that lead to the 2nd Fijian try ..Karpick is the only guy I seem to be noticing...some fantastic tries from the locals..great conditions 25 degrees and the passes are sticking...

[Stargazer]

Several changes have been made. I see Renata, Parkinson and Douglas.

[Stargazer]

Akira has been taken off.

Try Sean Wainui!

The improvement all started when Hall came on.

[Stargazer]

Parkinson has replaced Walker-Leawere.

[Stargazer]

22 - 5 Fiji.

[Stargazer]

Walden is the player replaced by Nankivell.

[KiwiMurph]

Haha Renata loves a soft knock on. He seriously does it every game he plays.

[Stargazer]

Harris has replaced Dixon.

[kiwiinmelb]

All of a sudden the Maori look better , next try is a crucial one , if it’s the Maori , a comeback may be a possibility, if it’s Fiji , you would think it’s all over
