Kurt Eklund: Māori All Blacks Captain ahead of their clash against Japan XV - The All Sport Breakfast

The Māori All Blacks are aiming to be both brutal and fleet-footed in tonight's clash against a Japan XV in Tokyo. 

The match day 23, which features eight newcomers, has only had two trainings amid the travel to Japan after being named on Tuesday. 

But first-time captain Kurt Eklund wants the team to play in typical Māori fashion, playing with power and pace. 

The match is underway from 9.05pm.
