New Zealand Maori v Ireland [29/06/2022]

[big ginger 8]

Playing some very dumb rugby, need to keep the ball but keep kicking it aimlessly back down the middle. Not even kicking for touch when we have good defensive jumpers.

Frawley not showing much to justify the shouts for him at 10.

What on earth just happened? My stream stopped working when it was 18 - 10

I assume this is an Ireland B team

No, it's full strength.

Jimmy and Earls have decided kicking the ball directly to them and having a disorganised and disjointed strength is the move.

I don't know how the NZ maori never seem to show the rust that the all blacks and other teams have in their first game of the year

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Maori need to keep the ball though because Irish attack looks very good (apart from the knock ons) and the maori defence not so good (perhaps a bit of rust in that respect)

B is generous I would say. C/D, but they should be way better than this.

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Did that touch the line?

 

[Gavin]

Is that Earls to centre then with Hume off?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

The ******* state of Barnes refereeing. Desperate that we have him for a test.

Not that it's made a difference today.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Lol

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That was as bad to watch as our last game in NZ.

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Lets make rugby a summer game. Cricket would be exciting in winter I reckon

 

[Seven]

I assume this is an Ireland B team

I certainly hope so, or there's some long afternoons about to happen...
