Japan vs Maori All Blacks. As we wait for kick off we see several changes in the Maori line up from last weeks encounter against Japan. Due to Ash Dixon fracturing his arm in the previous test, we see Codie Taylor replace him. Dan Pryor, Kurt Baker and Nehe Milner-Skudder are all set to start. Coach Colin Cooper has acknowledged that Japan will come out firing and make life difficult for them today. He does not want his team to be complacent after last weeks 21-61 victory. Let us wait and see what sort of a game we have on our hands today. Thank you for following this encounter on Ultimate Rugby.
Obviously. I was just saying to notify them of the error.
