Māori All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions

[Tim]

MAB have played like a bunch of guys who just met. Akira Ioane's workrate about the only highlight so far for me. 10, 12, 13 combination really not flash.

@Donsteppa

Yep, this looks like it's going to get ugly.

What the fuck are the Maori doing?

[taniwharugby]

Everyone predicted the Maori pack would struggle but gee the backs have barely caught the ball that has been gifted to them

[Crash]

We can't do anything without a forward pack

[Stargazer]

Shit, that could be the end of Proctor's season; hasn't played much this year.

The halves have provided the team with no direction at all.

[taniwharugby]

Wrong options all day

@MiketheSnow

He's just trying to cover for his useless fucking tighthead. Illegally, for sure.

I'm astonished he's made a professional career as a prop.

[Donsteppa]

On the plus side, the haka was fantastic and well co-ordinated.

After that, however...

[MiketheSnow]

Shut up Barnes you fucking idiot.

@Donsteppa Then why didn't the acting clown get a YC in the 1st half with the challenge on Lowe

Citing commissioner can look at that I guess. Two wrongs not making a right otherwise - at least they got one right.

I didn't think that first half collision with Lowe was as bad as some are making.

Feel for Proctor, just back from injury and that one looks serious.

[broughie]

Badly injured shoulder? It's his wrist no?

[Donsteppa]

Hope the Chiefs don't rush TKB back for Tuesday...

[No Quarter]

Another step up from the Lions who continue to improve. The test series is going to be an epic clash of styles.

[kev]

@Crash it's simple mistakes handing over possession when trying to attack that is the main issue

[hydro11]

Maori forwards haven't been beaten up much worse than the Blues, Crusaders or Highlanders IMO. The problem is that the Maori have had no direction.

[MiketheSnow]

Even if the Lions see this home, we haven't really learned anything.

[gt12]

They've done great to take advantage of the man up time. Now I'm really looking forward to next week.

[taniwharugby]

Oh look, another ball dropped

[Stargazer]

Don't see Dmac in the AB 10/22 jersey any time soon. Or in any AB jersey for that matter.
