Japan XV v Māori All Blacks

[Landers92]

TK Howden is a bloody handy player.

Japan look the much better team this opening 15 mins. Clearly extremely well drilled

[KiwiMurph]

This could be a long game for the Maori

Would rather see Taele at 12

[Mattasaurus]

MAB midfield look a bit vulnerable on D

[KiwiMurph]

Lovely use of space by Nock and Reihana

[antipodean]

That setup was well executed.

[Landers92]

Oh Reihana… gotta get that kick off earlier than that

Reihana is pulling the strings really nicely.

Godawful flamboyant finish by Forbes. Even funnier he had to stop to dive 🤣

The clock was 0 when he kicked the ball BS decision as soon you start your run in it’s considered the kick has started.
Another idiot decision by Dickson he is a shocking ref.

[KiwiMurph]

Sensational try

[antipodean]

Who said Reihana didn't take on the line or pass well?

[brodean]

Nicely worked

[Steven Harris]

Really liking the way Reihana is finding space
Can’t believe we are watching the same player from a year ago

[Bones]

Really lovely manipulation to create holes everywhere.

[Grooter]

Grace is kinda average lately

Different uniform

[KiwiMurph]

Howden looks much better than Grace

Think the app feed is slightly behind, but yeah he's not looking flash.

Rough. I guess maybe he should just move before there’s less than a second on the clock.

[canefan]

Some big hits there, but the MAB couldn't maintain their discipline

[family man]

Score please?
