Maori All Blacks coach Clayton McMillan is tempering expectations of a dynamic, clinical performance in the tonight's opener against Ireland in Hamilton

Maori All Blacks coach Clayton McMillan is tempering expectations of a dynamic, clinical performance in the tonight's opener against Ireland in Hamilton

29 June 2022

Halfbacks Brad Weber and TJ Perenara will co-captain the side which features ten debutants, four in the starting lineup.

They've only had two weeks to prepare so McMillan says there'll be room for error.

Kick off's at five past seven.

Live commentary on Gold Sport and iHeartradio.
