2019 NRL All Stars - Indigenous 34-14 Maori Kiwis @ AAMI

[Matua]

I think the Maoris win and win well. Sure the 2-5 for the Indigenous is insane but unless they get marched downfield doubt they'll get much chance to shine. The Kiwi pack and bench would match any team in the worlds whereas the Aussie one is barly NRL standard

The worry for the Maori is that their halves are largely untested - the pack can role over anyone but if the backs can't do anything with the ball then they're going to struggle.

WTF is up with two two backs on the bench and no Tapine? He should start over that myth Tamou. What are you thinking Stacey?

Also, I watched the clip of the team practising their haka - those two mozzies need a bit more practice.

 

[Mr Angry]

Is Stacey Coach?


Kiwis by 16.

Damn, this match is confusing the hell out of me - I don't know how it works.

Are they playing a 7 man bench for this game?

Yes

 

[adamkungl]

That certainly swings things in NZ's favour

Who will win the dance off?

The nrl put more effort into this then Tonga v Samoa. They should play this match as a double header the crowd would be very full.

It's already a double header - womens match between the same two all stars sides at 5:10pm

Couldn't give less of a shit about the concept, but after 4 months of no footy, I'll watch pretty much anything.

All Stars by 4, just because of the breadth of experience across the park.

All Stars?

They're both All Stars.

One side is referred to as the Maori Kiwis in the OP.

Would it be *that* difficult for you to have said "Indigenous" or "Maori" given you're a couple of pages into the thread?

There's an Ape down at the local Zoo that would very much appreciate your flea picking abilities, Timmah.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

has IBM heard of any of them?

To be fair, "indigenous" is also a term that is applicable to both sides.

Do you know if that will be broadcast?

*Edit. Nevermind. I was just being lazy. Found it.

 

[Xcalibre]

The Indigenous Aborigines of Terra Australis to be victorious by an embarrassing degree.

 

[This Year?]

I think it's going to be a great spectacle and it's fitting that the 1st game of the year is played by the 1st peoples of the nations that play our game.

Has much more potential than NRL all stars.
