The Māori All Blacks' tour to the Americas

[Stargazer]

I don't see Akira anymore, Hemopo seems to have come on.

Try Dixon. Finally.

He detached and rejoined

Try stands though

[Stargazer]

MABs lead 21 - 3 after the conversion.

[booboo]

Ah. We're in South America (like America but South). Lots of replays of shots at goal.

[Stargazer]

Abel has come on for Dixon.

[Stargazer]

Josh Ioane and Mitch Karpik have come on for Black and Harmon.

[Stargazer]

I also see Proctor; has Stevenson gone off, or has he moved to fullback and has Lansdown been replaced?

[Tordah]

MABs score again after a series of pick and goes, and after their scrum was again bullied by the Brazilians. 28-3

[Stargazer]

Who scored? My phone started buffering right when the try was scored.

Anyway, it's 28 - 3 to the MABs.

[Stargazer]

MABs have improved since they've gone to the bench.

[Nepia]

So, did the Maori spend the week in Rio?

[Stargazer]

@nepia No, they went straight to Sao Paolo and didn't stay in Rio.

[Stargazer]

Great team try scored by Jonah Lowe. Many players involved, including Proctor.

[Nepia]

Is that time clock correct? (My Portuguese is non existent so can't understand a word the commentators are saying).

[Stargazer]

It's over.

Maori All blacks win 35 to 3.

Not the best of games, but at least the score is acceptable. Full credit to Brazil, who can be proud of their performance.

Reckon they've gone soccer and not stopped clock for stoppages

@stargazer totally agree.the conditions definitely levelled things up,but you have got to give Brazil their dues,they are an emerging nation..who would have mention Brazil playing NZ Maori at home in front of a reasonable crowd 10 x years ago..?.
It’s shows growth in the game,seen it in Uruguay as well,I think it’s a good thing helping out these emerging nations..thought the Brazilians showed more ticker than the Americans last weekend.

[Stargazer]

@steven-harris IIRC, the Brazilians beat the USA for the first time in 2017. Although the USA have improved since then, I wonder whether the gap between them and, particularly, Brazil is closing a bit? It's Canada that has really dropped off.

Probably cos my favourite player Jamie Cudmore retired.
