The New Zealand Maori wrapped up their three-match tour of Canada with a 30-9 win over the Canucks in the second "Test" at York University in Toronto.
The visitors outscored their hosts by five tries to nil, but Maori first five-eighth Willie Walker forgot his kicking boots at home, missing all but one of his team's conversions and adding just one penalty.
All Black back five forward Troy Flavell scored a brace of tries, Crusaders and Canterbury wing Joe Maddock scored a try -- to go with his two last week -- All Black discard Christian Cullen got on the scoresheet and hooker Slade McFarland, a replacement for Corey Flynn in the Maori touring party, scored the fifth and final try.
Canadian fullback Jamie Pritchard, who was born in Australia, slotted three penalties for his side, but the home side were unable to breach the rock-solid Kiwi defence.
The NZ Maori won last week's "international" against Canada in Calgary by 65-27, while the New Zealanders also won their midweek encounter, against the Rugby Canada All Stars in Ottawa, by 52-11.
