Obviously lovely run from Williams but the read from Payne and Nowell in particular was fantstic.

Nah Nowell would be ripped apart by the AB's IMO.

You don't think North will ?

 

[Penne Rara]

This one was truly beautiful

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is Payne a 15 or 13?

What is his preferred position?

Great run from Williams. Tidy again from Nowell. Payne with great support. Back 3 have done well today... Dilemma for Gats maybe, even if he has made up his mind before the tour even started.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

You don't think North will ?

Maybe, but he hasn't been exposed as badly as Nowell was against Ioane.

The Irish seem to think he's at his attacking best from 15.

 

[Bluemoon]

Poor kick from Biggar. Keep the ball in hand man, we are on top!

Gats needs to make some changes now. I need Dacey on. I have a bet on that requires he plays haha.

 

[TobesHodges]

Ffs Put Cory Hill on! He's an absolute test starter!!!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

See Nowell looks a lot better when he is at 13 spot IMO.

Watching those replays i think backs it up.

 

[Maverick1987]

That was an off day imo but I get what you are saying

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I have to say one thing I've noted from admittedly young and inexperienced super rugby teams but also some more experienced players in the Maori is that under pressure they can make some really bad and risky decisions. We know of course that new zealand rugby sides take more risks and play at a faster tempo but it does feel like you can really get them to take bad risks by putting them in such situations.

 

[Maverick1987]

That's pretty dangerous from chiefs 6 ... very lucky the ref didn't notice/do anything

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

That's a grab around the neck....dangerous play. Ref needs a word in the ear from the captain.

Only the lions commit foul play, remember.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Seymour with an awful pass.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Bwahahahahahahahhahahahha no wayyyyy

 

[Bluemoon]

Seymour! Did all the hard work then threw terrible pass!
