Maori are a lot stronger than some people know or think. They took Ireland last year.

It is a good showing from the boys but the Cudmore qoute about not just producing efforts, but producing wins was good to see
Not sure what he was expressing in those comments. That he thinks they can actually win games now? How? They have no depth. They are outweighed and outskilled in many an encounter. Their development system is filled with huge gaps. They have nothing for players over 20. They need a league like the AHL filled with 20-24ish yr olds. The pathway is incomplete. The base is too small. The coaching at the lower levels is inconsistent. They produce what?

They have a handful of players at the pro level. That's it.

I'd say they are very very much still at the good effort stage.
