    The Maori All Blacks have come from behind at halftime to score six second half tires and thump the Japan XV 53 to 20 in Tokyo

    The Maori All Blacks have come from behind at halftime to score six second half tires and thump the Japan XV 53 to 20 in Tokyo


    Trailing 17-15 at the break - the Maori took the lead for the first time when Lock Laghlan McWhannell scored three minutes into the second half.

    Five further tries saw them outscore the home side 38-3 in the second spell.

    The Maori side now return to New Zealand for a match against Scotland in Whangarei next Saturday.
