Māori All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions

[gt12]

Great for the ABs though. Can you beat their kicking game? Deal with their kicks? Scrum safely? Win set piece? Do that and the Lions are pretty easy to deal with.

Fuck up any of those areas and they'l ptessure you out of the game.

@Crash Agreed. Akira and Elliot Dixon are doing ok.

[Wreck Diver]

Look at both tight 5's on paper and there was always only one winner and they were not going to be wearing black.

[Mokey]

Can't believe how shit DMac and Lowe have been, then again, both out of position. Maori forwards haven't been much chop either. Really disappointing overall. They don't look like they have any kind of game plan.

@Wreck-Diver

I thought the Maori would have used the ball better though

DMac is over-hyped even for the Chiefs

@Crucial

Bugger, now I'll have to justify my throwaway comments..

[Wreck Diver]

@gt12 they haven't had any ball in the second half

[gt12]

My god, the Chiefs might want to start recruiting a new 10.

[Stargazer]

Dmac not handling things better than Mo'unga last week.

[Crash]

Hansen is going to go away thinking - ok this is how NOT to play against the Lions

He knew that already

[Tim]

@gt12 Blues might have an off-cast for them.

[taniwharugby]

Hate scrumming for cards or pen-tries.

[kev]

When are they going to change May.

It's like he watched Mo'unga but reached the wrong conclusions.

[ACT Crusader]

It's a real shame that DMac wasn't at fullback and Lowe on the wing. The Lions kicked a bit of a ball to Lowe in that first half and Lowe didn't know what to do with it other than kick shockers.

DMac i think would've been far more effective at the back.

I've seen Ben Blair play better at 1st 5..... 🙂

[Crash]

They've seen enough. DMac about to be dragged (from 10 anyway)

[Tim]

@kev Renata isn't much chop in the scrum. Might be better than May though.

[MiketheSnow]

Thank fuck they yanked North.

Blown his chance.
