NZ rugby is at an all time low
This almost our B Maori team - hardly a pointer of NZ rugby being at an all time low.
It was also only the Ireland B Team

As ever, commiserations New Zealand. A good battle.
Saturday will be a humdinger.

I would expect Ireland B to beat NZ Maori who aren’t exactly our B side.

Would either of you Kojaks like a comb?

Thats not the issue.
It's that for a second game in a row, a team which got trounced previously took a look at the team tactics and figured out a way, pretty easily, to completely reverse the result.
Whilst it looks like our team went out on the piss, signed a few autographs and turned up expecting the same old stuff would see them through.
In both game the Irish improved a lot & we realised we had no ability, or idea, to nullify them.

NZ rugby becoming like Fiji. Lots of talent, can score from anywhere, consistently lose against well-coached teams with a structured game plan.

Just like the late 90s/early 00s again

Powderpuff forwards and maverick backs 😁

TAB currently saying ABs $1.25 and Ireland $4 for Saturday, so a chance for some of you guys to be rich men.

Wow those are great odds for the Irish. I feel like we are underdogs in our own country

Am watching the recording.
This ref is a joke.
35 mins in.
-
I thought Stevenson,Delaney,love and howden did very well in this game. All look like quality players.
-
45 in.
Wouldn't have given the PT .. but will take it
-
Ref fluffybunny cheats at 55 mins

Is it cheating, or are the refereeing interpretations just so different now between hemispheres that it is having a material impact on the outcome of matches?
Maybe NZ can bring across some NH refs to expose NZ players to these different interpretations. It isn't like they don't have money burning a hole in their pocket now
-
I thought the kicking game was the difference between the sides.
There's a real lack of quality kickers from hand in NZ rugby other than Zarn.
Doesn't help the Maori attack that they had a handbrake at 9.
Was a bit disappointed in Moorby - Super Rugby might be his level.
Has Billy Proctor ever beaten a tackle?
Some good stuff in there though - wish more nz forwards would run hard and straight like Delaney.
