How to Watch NZ Maori vs Indigenous Rugby Game | New Zealand All blacks Maori vs Indigenous live stream in FMG Stadium Waikato, Hamilton, Waikato | 2021 February 20. It was billed as a battle of the fullbacks but hooker Brandon Smith stole the show to inspire the Maori’s 30-16 win over their Indigenous rivals in Saturday’s NRL All Stars clash on the Gold Coast. All eyes were on NSW centre Latrell Mitchell’s first crack at the Indigenous No. 1 jersey, lining up a mouth watering showdown NZ Maori vs Indigenous Live Stream with Maori and Queensland fullback Kalyn Ponga. After the Maori led 12-10 at halftime, the game appeared to be broken open in the 57th minute when James Roberts turned around Ponga and scored off a David Fifita bust to give the Indigenous outfit a 16-12 lead. Enter fan favourite Smith. First he barged over in the 69th minute to snatch back the lead. He was at it again four minutes later, only to be denied by the video referee for a double movement.
But there was no doubting his next effort when he burrowed over under the posts in the 75th, all but ensuring the Maori avenged their 34-14 loss last year. Centre Dylan Walker iced the result with an 80th minute try. In the fullback duel, Mitchell came up trumps in his first big one on one test with Ponga after the Maori No. 1 made a 35th minute bust, only for his Indigenous opposite number to cut him down. In the end they shared honours before Mitchell played the majority of his second stint on the field in the centres with Alex Johnston at fullback. The Maori had a dream start when winger and co-captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak evaded Mitchell to score in the fourth minute. The video referee gave it the green light after studying a strip from Tyrone Roberts on Maori centre Esan Marsters that jolted the ball free for Ferguson to pounce.
