The New Zealand Maori have bounced back from their opening loss to thrash a Championship XV 52-21 in Doncaster.
The Maori were well beaten by English club side Leicester in their first game but quickly found their rhythm today, scoring eight tries to two in the victory.
Coach Jamie Joseph had made seven changes to his team, who built on the two first-half tries scored by Kurt Baker and Hika Elliot to run in six more by Declan O'Donell, Trent Renata, Elliot Dixon, Frae Wilson, Romana Graham and Jackson Willison.
