    The Maori All Blacks have come from behind at halftime to score six second half tires and thump the Japan XV 53 to 20 in Tokyo


    Trailing 17-15 at the break - the Maori took the lead for the first time when Lock Laghlan McWhannell scored three minutes into the second half.

    Five further tries saw them outscore the home side 38-3 in the second spell.

    The Maori side now return to New Zealand for a match against Scotland in Whangarei next Saturday.
