NZ Māori are awesome. This is just their third loss in about 30 odd games. Incredible. Kia kaha!

[@dominictoretto3592]

To be fair we play a lot of trash teams and not very often. Not that it's their fault, I'm sure the Māori boys would like to play more tier 1 nations

[@shanngatihine5500]

Not our week boys but still proud of your effort, congrats Ireland👍🏽

[@unknownmaddog]

there's just something special about TJ when he leads the haka , can literally see how intense and passionate he is ... BIG RESPECT

[@KERSENTERTAINMENT]

I don’t know if it’s just me but I always feel like there’s just so much more mana when watching the MAB haka than the ABs.

[@bodybalanceU2]

because maori boys know how to haka its second nature to them

[@ibrahimsteyn1254]

Watching the 1st half of this game and I'm now convinced that there's a serious coaching problem in NZ rugby. Absolutely no agression at the breakdown and the line speed on defence.

[@stealthpakfa]

Agree. Weak at the collision, breakdown, line speed on defence.

[@weaselwag]

the ABs head coach sets the style all super rugby teams play. the maori can't play THAT different from the general style the guys play week in week out. I'm still blaming foz/hansen for not changing the model from 10 years ago despite the world clearly catching up the past 3/4 years

[@user-ih3ud4vh1f]

Yeah went too hard in the haka😂… sorry bout it

[@darrynchevis5922]

Straight from the soul. Yeah boys

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

Have always enjoyed the haka, one of the iconic spectacles of world sport in my opinion. However, I do also think that the opposition should be allowed to (respectfully) front up to it, á la Willie Anderson in 1989. If the haka is a challenge, what's wrong with accepting it?

[@dubstepXpower]

Celtic war dance by the Irish?

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

@@dubstepXpower Riverdance would put the 💩 up anyone ;)

[@dominictoretto3592]

They are allowed to, have u seen the Pacific Islanders? They always match the hake and we always match their war cries. Do a traditional Irish dance or something

[@leannecampbell4551]

More passion from these boys doing the Haka than the bloody ABs, specifically; Brodie Retallick, Sam Whitelock, Jordie and Scott Barrett, Richie Mo’unga. They would be as well standing still with their arms folded!

Come on Maori Abs!!!

[@ozmanoshe]

Ref is getting a bit one eyed . Didn’t agree with either of those yellows. Just too many cards.

[@taraishot100]

They are a bit to fast with the haka they need to slow it down just a tad

[@qpishjunior4772]

Ur funny, it's too slow already. The original timatanga was way better than the newer slower one when they take the long breaks

[@bronwynsearle2117]

Good win for the best team 💪☘️☘️☘️ hahaha 😂

Four tries a piece and a drawn series against an international team. Well done Maoris!!!

The lead to an epic loss haha

[@naddanbb]

6 points epic

[@ynotegg]

This interception rule needs to change. Every ref is gonna interpret it differently. Why can't it just be a knock on, scrum and move on? Mean Haka though and well played Ireland.

[@slapsolutely]

Don't want to encourage it happening because it's a lot easier to do than a proper intercept

[@ynotegg]

@@slapsolutely Yeah that's true. It's just frustrating and slows the game down going to the video ref.

[@slapsolutely]

Ever since I commented on this I've been re-thinking it, surely a scrum is a better use of time and encouraging intercepts opens up space for attacking team aswell as intercepts are fun to watch..

[@ynotegg]

@@slapsolutely I agree with you. I love rugby union and I grew up on it like many of us have. But there so many rules and technicalities and slows the game down. Playing avantage is another one that all refs call differently.

[@ianboggssister6636]

sad the team thats probably gonna win doesnt even have a full house.and the team thats probably gonna lose is probably gonna have a full house.we should boycott the allblacks game or all just watch it off someones free live stream till they drop ian foster timata lol

Didn't phase the Irish or win the game 😂

[@dominictoretto3592]

Bro we literally do this all the time. Haka doesn't = Win. As you clearly seen on the weekend. Pacific Islanders do their chant all the time and lose damn near every game. It's about pride for our people
