An experimental Ireland XV suffered a summer tour awakening against the dominant Maori All Blacks, who triumphed 32-17 on Wednesday.
Andy Farrell fielded five uncapped players for the warm-up match and was left with plenty to ponder following the resounding defeat.
The hosts came out firing and raced to a 32-10 first-half lead after notching up four tries in Hamilton, courtesy of Zarn Sullivan, Shaun Stevenson, Brad Weber and Cullen Grace. Fly-half Josh Ioane added the extras for three of those, plus two penalty kicks.
