When Sullivan did the Pukana it brought a tear to my eye. Love you my Maori people.

The MABs speed and work around the breakdown need to be commended here. This is a coaching masterclass and a clinic in execution. Just watch how quickly they get to every breakdown in how effective they are cleaning out. I’m gobsmacked at the quality. A well deserved win!

Its good to see and hear the 1888 New Zealand Natives, Captained by Joe Warbrick, finally being acknowledged and recognized. Maori rugby, as stated, has a 134 year history in this country and were the first team from New Zealand to tour outside of Australia and in parts of Great Britain playing 107 games all up, winning 78 of those clashes. As such, they also were the first to perform the Haka on a sporting field, and as we've seen, that tradition has stood the test of time inspiring other nations to either borrow or conjure up their own war dances, more specifically the Pacific Island teams. Some people act like the Maori team popped up only 10 years ago to create division within New Zealand when it was an idea first proposed and supported by New Zealanders of European heritage intially to exploit England's fascination with Natives. In 1868 An Aboriginal cricket team toured England with great success so they'd hoped for the same reaction. Guess they got it because The New Zealand Maori have beaten top tier nations for well over a century and have an equally impressive win/loss record to show for it. So the idea of this "Race based team" was a concept developed by Europeans now white kiwis of a certain vintage have a problem with something their forebears created. Congratulations to the New Zealand Maori team on a good win. Here's hoping the NZRU treat you alot better given your track record and storied connection to the game here in Aotearoa. From your friendly Viking Kiwi.

That was a great performance Maori AB's!. First half they were brutal and clinical. Such beautiful micro skill moments, slick handling at the line. Much to like from the loosies they combined well. Grace just carried on his Crusader form, Billy Harmon wouldn't look out of place in the AB's. Cameron Suafoa never heard much of him but he was a beast when carrying. Walker-Leawere very underrated but he's a solid player great ball carrier, Ollie Norris is destined for AB's he's a young gun. The backs got the rewards from the forwards hard work and they played sharp, all in all great win Maori All Blacks.

From a New Zealander far from home at the moment, cheers All Blacks and sky for a decent highlights package.

Wow! Much respect to the Māori ABs from the USA!

Well done Māori Goes to show,actions not words!

That was a lovely gesture to Sean Wainui and his family. The MAB's were great and it was an excellent lesson in what international rugby is all about for all the Irish young lads. Good entertainment too. Of course it will be a totally different Irish team on Saturday probably with the exception of Bundee. Really looking forward to a cracking contest between these two. It's great that is has become a true rivalry between them. I'll be watching in an Irish bar in İstanbul from 10am local time with the game starting at 11. It's been quite a few years since I had Guinness with my breakfast!! Lol. Enjoy the game everyone!

Thank you so much for the wonderful gesture for Sean wainui Much love to Ireland

Rest in Power Sean Wainui. 🙌🏽

massive from the Maori All Blacks...Cullen grace and brad webber for me has proven the All Blacks selectors that they should have been in that squad....Good hit up lads,

Great stuff my Maori boys. Ireland will come back strong, bring on the next match of the tour.

Black & White Toa From Aotearoa. It's been a great year for The Maori Rugby & Rugby League team. TU MAORI!!! Welcome to New Zealand Ireland. Come on All Blacks, just follow the Kiwi League teams phenomenal performance when you play against Ireland.

This is the stuff that keeps young in NZ want to play 🏉

From a Munster fan. Well done The Maori. Wonderful heads and hands up rugby. My lot? Better wake-up and quick. Was pleased for our St Bundee to get a try.

LOVED THAT!! GOOOO MAORIS!!!! Surprised at how emphatic that was!!! Ireland will be thinking (was this this their first team?) if the All Blacks have similar intentions...or look different to this Maori team. Sullivan, Josh Iaone, Stephenson, Grace, Weber...all the team, played well. Proud Jamaican supporting AB fan here. The heartland did you and forefathers proud.

Thanks for this. Was travelling and missed the game. Good edit 👏🏻 🇮🇪 🇳🇿

These were great highlights Thanks, from Australia

as an Ireland fan I'm happy enough with that. MAB's have some very experienced guys and some very talented, quick young guys. Our inexperienced lads got a good run out and did themselves proud imo.

All the efforts we put in Makes us More Stronger

Well done Maori All Blacks from Ireland

I never expected a Cricket score that's for sure. Not a good way to start a tour but I'm sure the Irish will be back. Well done Maori, well done NZ.

Great performance fro the MAB well done from SA.

Awesome performance! That fullback is class!

That off pass before contact from Coombes on Aki’s try was brilliant. He’s such a strong ball carrier and he took two out of the game, he needs to be doing little tip on passes like that and mix it up if he’s going to get into this Irish team ahead of Doris and Conan.

Yeah boys awesome win brutal and clinical attacks great game .

Strong performance all round. The MAB pack stood up in the tight, to support the speedsters. That's always a massive component when playing an Irish team. The ABs really need a next generation of tight five players or it's going to be a lean decade. Big test on Saturday, against a much stronger Irish team. Really disappointed Will Jordan won't be there finding space. Respect again to Bundee who has been one of Aotearoa's finest rugby exports.

Congrats to the Maori AB's they were by far the better team and deserved the win. A few future AB's there I think. Zarn Sullivan was very impressive. They'd easily be in the top tier of international teams if they were their own nation so to speak. Disappointed as an Ireland fan, we were a bit brainless at times, particularly around the rucks and I think theres a few guys that are a lot further away from test level than we thought. All in all though the young fringe guys will learn more from that against quality opposition than smashing Canada, the USA or teams of that ilk. Roll on Saturday for the big one, really looking forward to it.

Mean Maori Mean... Awesome victory...the Maori All blacks is a special kind of team..Congratulations brothers

Hopefully Ireland take this as a wake up call before Saturdays test which of course is going to be completely different. Can't believe the quality of some of those MABs, NZ just churning out quality youngsters

Maori's should have their own team at the world cup. They are easily a top 10 team

New Zealand is an isolated country that produces tough, tough footy players. Anyone who grows up in a freezing wooden shack at the end of the world in rain and grey skies in Otago is hard as nails.

Grace was awesome. Sullivan had a game that caught everyone's eye and suafoa

Well done to the Maori. Fully deserved win. We were slow out of the blocks and some very sloppy play. Great to be finally alive and kicking in this tour, hopefully performances will improve on this.

Great performance. Expected and happy with that. Look forward to Saturday clash!

well done Maori ABs well done Mighty ABs just watched both games. damn we on bro!

beautiful game! awesome skills Maori All Blacks 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Mean Brothers way to show your Mana an Skill an Dedication to the sport.

Our lovely Maori All Blacks, congratulations! ;-)

What a awesome game and Haka from MABS

Get Grace in the ABs. Māori scrum dominant, lineout solid, but surprisingly they also stopped the Irish maul dead in its tracks. Without those platforms, Ireland midweek team didn’t really have the attacking threats to get the result. The Māori defence will have to improve, as there were some huge holes to run through, but Ireland unable to control the ball well enough in the conditions to exploit them and Māori scrambling was good. Second game will be much more interesting and the Irish will have a better understanding of some of the lesser known Māori players and how to shut them down.

Congratulations to the young bloods of the Mab's demonstrating skills at the utmost level more international games please to enhance more experience for the boys thankyou Ireland Godbless 🙏

should've included Zarn's 50/22 that led up to the first try

Thanks for posting.

Well played Māori👌❤️

Congratulations MAB💪🏾

🌿WELL DONE BOYS🌿What an exciting game! A well earned win 🥇

Fantastic victory by the Māori boys. Well deserved victory. If we didn’t know before now what we’re going to be up against in the test games, well we do now.

Really proud 👏 great work MAB

Fantastic 1st 40. Credit to the boys. Although fell away in the second half, We came away with the Double U

4:37 this play here from Suafoa gives me hope that the NZ system is shifting more toward a tactical playstyle. Targeting the Irish's rush in defence and exploiting it is a mindset that the All Blacks have been slow to catch up to the rest of the world on

Outstanding performance by the MAB

new drinking game that gets you drunk? Have a sip of beer every time an Ireland player goes down injured

they should do a maori abs vs all black game.

No shame in losing to the Maoris. They've beaten Lions sides who've had weeks of prep. Really disappointed with Irelands game management though. How many offsides around their 22 to let the pressure off or in the irish half in kickable positions? Also lads throwing ridiculous offloads when the ball is like a bar of soap. Game would have been close otherwise. Shoutout to the Maoris for their skill levels and they were insane at the breakdown. Timoney and Prendergast normally v good at stealing ball and couldn't get a sniff. Hopefully we can give you a better game next week if we have enough players to put a side together! 😅

Great game MAB's Great score.

I see why the DJ at the stadium is full of nostalgia with the old school jams instead of today's music. 😂

mean maoris MEAN!! Well played. very cool tribute to Sean Wainui, rip rangatira!!

I would've liked to have seen at least a few points scored in the 2nd half by MAB but still stoked with the dub.

Handled that Rush defence with excellence! If only the ABs can resonate with those tactics.

Surely Shaun Stevenson and Josh Ioane play for Samoa one day. Take your talents there boys, you will be great value.

Sullivan and Stevenson are serious Players, Special.

Both teams played a solid game

Class of this game is rarely matched

Thanx

Brilliant

Great win! An fantastic runnin trys. Cheers fullas!

Good on the Maori ABs for letting TJ have a run when the lead was too much for even him to blow!!! : )

How good was Zarn Sullivan? Absolute gun. Also cheeky little check by Dickson to allow Ioane to go through that hole

Well done to the Máori.!! Not surprising really, let's hope Saturday is much closer!!!

Cullen Grace should be called into the All Blacks after this

What a great match.

Well done boys...awesome game.

Well done lads!!

Thanks for the highlights - shamefully this game was not on Irish tv only sky .

What a thrush whanau🤙🏾

Connor GB is a real hustler, really busy off the ball, super promising player..

The Maori team should be in the world cup..

Yeah the brothers str8 maori back yard footy

What a great game

Obviously I know that this isn't first team Ireland, but there were some horrible mistakes in this game that you can't afford to make in international rugby. The number of knock ons was mad and the defence was all over the place. As an Irish fan, I expected more from this experimental team

4:40 I like how Josh just runs around the no12. Lovely stuff. I would have this Maori All-Blacks as the All-Blacks literally.

Awesomeness

Nice win Maori All Blacks

Fantastic Win!

The only way we will get players more experience and depth is by these games. To write frawley off as an international forever based on his first game is a stupid opinion

Ataahua😍🙏🕊

awesome,

Playing on tour in new Zealand is probably the ultimate litmus test of a player many a top team have come up short against the maori

Enough said we were just missing the impact man ,William wairua

Disappointing to see the stadium so empty, but fantastic rugby my Kiwi brothers 💪🏽🔥❤️

tj perenara my new hero

thanks to the irish for giving the mabs these games

......congrats Maori All Blacks, a well deserved win. C'mon All Blacks.

good stuff lads

Nice video and all but , I’m in your comment section again . lol .

A great game would be between the the Māori all blacks and a Caucasian only South African side. Both proud nations.

Whatta 1st half of rugby 🏉

Ouch that’s going to be a v long tour for Ireland!!

MAORI,S MAORI,S AWESOME YEE HAA 💯🙏
