New Zealand Maori vs. Canada Rugby: Live Blog, Scoring Updates and Analysis

New Zealand's Maori All Blacks begin their North American tour this afternoon against Canada at Toronto's BMO Field.  It has been almost a year since these two teams faced each other at Oxford University; the Maori won that contest 32-19.

Over the summer, Canada was moments away from sweeping the 2013 Pacific Nations Cup. Yet, they are a team that has improved mightily under their head coach and former All Black selector Kieran Crowley. Today, Canada will be missing many of their top players, but will seek to use the sell-out crowd in Toronto to their advantage.

We'll have all the scoring updates and analysis for you, live from the press box, here on Bleacher Report.
