A sloppy New Zealand Maori outfit have lost an ill‑tempered clash with the French Barbarians 19‑15 this morning.
The Maori side simply were not at the races in their second and final tour game.
Despite throwing the ball around willingly and chancing their arm, the side conceded far too many knock‑ons and penalties.
They will head back to New Zealand with their tail between their legs, while flanker Akira Ioane will link up with the All Blacks squad this weekend.
The All Blacks will face France at 9am tomorrow while the Fiji Airways Flying Fijians will play Italy at 3am tomorrow.
