The Māori All Blacks' tour to the Americas

okay so not that great after all. As you were...
-
@kiwimurph That's a pretty handy team, though a bit inexperienced at lock and six.
- May
- Abel
- Lomax
- Parkinson
- Walker-Leawere
- Hemopo
- Harmon
- Ioane
- Hall
- Black
- NMS
- Thompson
- Proctor
- Lowe
- Stevenson
-
@tim Yeah i'm more interested in the lineup for the US game which will be without the AB players in Japan as on paper it should be the toughest game for the MABs.
Something like this
- Eves/May
- Dixon (Abel is in better form but Dixon has played a lot of rugby for the MABs)
- Renata
- Parkinson
- Walker-Leawere
- Prinsep (not a fan of Matenga)
- Harmon
- Ioane
- Ruru
- Black
- Lowe
- Walden
- Thompson
- Makene
- Stevenson
-

Hell no!
Either of the two Hawkes Bay boys at 9 for me. Probably Ash Dixon at hooker too. But agree with the rest aside from May, I don't think he's up to starting anymore (see I can remove a Magpie as well). -
@kiwimurph Wasn't Dixon also captain last tour?
-
@daffy-jaffy Yeah that sounds right.

@stargazer I looked up Josh Ioane and couldn't find any info on him being Māori, so I thought he wasn't. Great to see him picked ahead of JGB!
Just on Josh Ioane,he’s my sister in-laws first cousins grandson,the father is Samoan ,the mother is a Pirini from Northland
He’s got ties to both Northland and Auckland ,schooled at Kings College in Auckland ..you could say another one that got away from both Northland and Auckland -

). -

@stargazer said in The Māori All Blacks' tour to the Americas:
@nepia That first sentence in @Steven-Harris' post comes from my comments on the team naming.
Yeah, I saw that, but his subsequent sentence suggests that he knows of his Maori ancestry independent of anything in the media (unless of course I interpreted that sentence wrong, which is a possibility).

@nepia looking at your comment I think you are reading @Stargazer comment and attributing it to @Steven-Harris

@nepia I did an edit to fix the quote.. it should read better now
Ah ok, yep I had 100% confused myself and thought they were two posts by @Steven-Harris .
I accept my blond award.

Thankfully Plummer looks a decent prospect in his own right.
