Huh? Was obvious it needed a look in real time

[Bovidae]

Nock's passing is making Christie look Smith-like. Reihana will get a charge-down at some stage.

The Māori look rusty, and some stupid ill-discipline.

[Stag]

@taniwharugby they weren’t any good for this years Crusaders…

[Stag]

Not interested in watching a game when I can’t understand the commentators and there is no alternative option. Straight to the league.

[KiwiMurph]

Sloppy handling by both sides

[Yeetyaah]

@Stag you watching on Sky Sports? There's English and Reo commentary available.

[pakman]

[KiwiMurph]

Wild passage of play.

[KiwiMurph]

Suafoa has some serious skills

[Bovidae]

Feek will have some work to do this week with the scrum.

A pity they didn't score on the last play.

Japan's scrum looked good against the English. Not surprised it's competitive against the MAB.

Owen Franks doing some good work as Japans new scrum coach.

[nostrildamus]

Suafoa potential future AB?

The Japanese front row are all short, and looked to be getting under the taller Māori props.

[African Monkey]

@nostrildamus He'll get more of a run for the Blues next year should he stay healthy.

[Bovidae]

BTW, Nik McCurran (no.23) is the brother of Waikato loose forward Patrick. He used to be a halfback.
