Piri Weepu try for the Maoris after a nice run from Hosea Gear
New Zealand Maori got their Pacific Nations Cup campaign off to a winning start with a 20-9 win over Tonga at Albany Stadium on Saturday. In a game characterised by heavy tackles and penalty kicks the New Zealanders managed to get the better of their visitors as both teams threw all the weight they possessed at each other.
The try of the match was then scored in the 72nd minute by halfback Piri Weepu after he received an offload from wing Hosea Gear who had busted tackles all the way down the touchline.
Note: We'll bring you highlights of the other internationals from the weekend as soon as we can.

This was a terrible match- so so many mistakes throughout- this try was one of the few highlights- as well as the attempted decapitation by a tongan to one of the Maori!!!

It's a shame Tonga lost this game.Was hoping for an upset.
Tonga was trailing 9-13 when they conceded this try that sealed it for NZ Moari.

Commentators were Ken Laban and Richard Turner..and the sideline commentator was Shane Howarth.
Who was actually the one commentating in this clip I don't know but it's funny as hell.
