29-20 MAB

Zarn getting some zing back in his game this half.

Fuck Howden bombed that try

Try gone begging there.

Entertaining

cheeky little run by Forbes there.

Cracking.

Could see a 12/13 of Bailyn/Zarn being interesting.

What's happened to the 10m rule?

Currently 28 deg C in Tokyo right now. Humidity high as well I'd suspect

Honey Badger says "Sweet as"! (with an extra s)..

That Japanese 6 is chunky, and I think suffering a little already. Hard to stop though.

Those handsome and debonair Blues boys are saving the day.

Blues players having a day out.

Well taken try from Nock.

Lowe tackled by a player on the ground with no one in front of him looked YC worthy...

The MAB halfback has nocked on the door and no one was home, nice try.

Messy first half for MAB. Time to flick over to the B&I Lions

Actually I staying here

Slacker.

I just assumed that would kick off at 9pm (Sydney time).

This Reihana guy is looking like a bit of a decent running threat.

Howden is so good he's even on the sideline of the lions game.

Maori clicking now, didn't take long, impressive.

What a try.

Magic to watch

Comedy of errors that all paid off.

No try

Jonah can't stop scoring tries. If only he was as good as Springer.

TMO the fun police

Comedy of errors that all paid did not pay off.

Brown has certainly had a big impact tonight.

Shame about that ... but correct

Too much skill

Yeah that non-try wasn't a great advert for having locks in the backline..

Jonah toying with them.

I like Cruden as commentator.

Holding up that 6 (I think it was and apologies he has been working all match) was impressive. He looks like he'd be very experienced at beaching.

Will the MABs get a try in the last minute? Very entertaining game methinks.

Trask in, 53-20 with that try. I like his footwork. Japan fell apart in the second half. Now the kick. Missing.

It was all Japan XV in the first 20 minutes or so - impressive how Maori just kicked into gear after that

This is a pretty bad look for Japan. Am I right in thinking they haven't taken it very seriously? Or is it supposed to be their second team?

Second team

Their top team plays Wales next week
