The Maori All Blacks are looking to end their tour on a high note after their 14-27 loss to Munster in front of a sold-out Limerick crowd.

"We've gone for the most experienced team we can just because of the way the game is played over here.

"We've had to re-programme to adjust from playing the style of rugby we play back home to better adjust to the way they play rugby up here," Cooper said.

"It's been a good learning for the players and for us as coaches. We turned up in Munster on the back of a win in the US, and we weren't ready for the style of rugby, particularly given the conditions, we faced in Munster."

Cooper reflected on the tour and said the learnings would be important as they build toward the Maori All Blacks fixture against the British and Irish Lions next year.

"Knowing that the Lions will probably play a similar style, it has been a good learning curve for us and given us a good focus for our training this week.

"These guys here have a great opportunity to be part of the Lions, but again, players in Super Rugby in 2017 will have a great opportunity to play for a spot in the team, so that will be exciting to watch," Cooper said.
