Jet lag, midweekers and end of season aside, Maori are looking very good this half.

Ireland B versus NZ C-

[Gunner]

Headless chicken stuff there, forwards needed to take ownership and do a couple pick and goes and give the team time to get their shape back.

SR refs could learn a thing or two from Barnes.
Particularly around the back of the rucks

Certainly not when it comes to looking at the last feet.

[taniwharugby]

Sweet!

[Gunner]

Oh wowee, another classic long range try!

[Machpants]

I'll add Stephenson's pass to worst of the year, so far

[Grooter]

Good on ya Grace! man I love watching Shaun Stevenson😀

[nzzp]

that's a hell of a try

[taniwharugby]

Going forward Harmon looking good...Grace looking sharp too

[Tim]

Stevenson brilliance followed by a shocker of a pass.

Doesn't want the focus all on Webber.

[Machpants]

A few plays ago, late Aki shoulder not picked up. You can take the South Aucklander out of Auckland....

[Kirwan]

Some magic trys in this game.

Mrs Kirwan just who the old guy was. Umm sorry Cullen.

Stevenson brilliance followed by a shocker of a pass.

And some calm brilliance by Harmon

[Crucial]

Well Barnes certainly doesn’t care about hands on the ground at the ruck as much as our Super Rugby refs. Hope the ABs take note.

Might be too cool to train at passing.

Seriously in all the years of seeing him play I had no idea he was so quick, he’s usually trying to be too cool/casual. Brilliant run.

Really saved it. No panic

[No Quarter]

Great half of rugby, really entertaining despite the weather. Maori playing the house down. Love Zarn Sullivan, future AB written all over him. Very classy player.
