Māori All Blacks v Ireland 2
-
For all the ball MABs have had - needed to turn that pressure into points

-
Nankivell hands - normally as safe as houses - dropped two cold

Hahaha the Irish getting so brave they just try coming from the Maori side now. Surprised to see it penalised
Yes, you can pass a ball to an Irishman directly behind the ruck because that's a perfectly onside position.

@Jailbreak7 I really rate him but he's having a bit of a mare tonight.

Open play I thought. Perenara popped it up to no one, he came through from his side and caught it. Looked fine

Well twice in that last passage of play IWL came forward from an offside position and was not penalised so it is going both ways.

Can see the real difference in the break down work , and there example right there TJ showing some great strength, but where was the accuracy of the cleaners ..only one enhancing his reputation is Sean Stephenson ..what were the chiefs thinking ?

Last pass on attack was behind him. All a bit frantic. MABs just pushing too many passes. Still it may come…

The AR can't call simple offside, but decides it's a yellow for Norris doing something perfectly legal. Weird huh

Like SS on attack but he scares me on D - not in the right way.

Reminds me of his game against the Drua

I'd prefer TJ did halfback stuff well and put his forwards through into those holes.

Same coach. Shaun Stevenson was on the unavailable/injured list quite a lot in the later half of the season - despite the "Claytons favourites" talk on here after some selections. Stevenson is available and Clayton has started him in both games at this level.
