Māori All Blacks to play Ireland?

[Stargazer]

Two weeks in-between games for the MABs. Would have been a great opportunity to organsise a game for tomorrow, against a NZ Barbarians team. That way, they could have given players who are knocking on the ABs (XV) door, but aren't Māori, a game, too.

@Stargazer in such a scenario I feel like the obvious barbarians halfback would've been Maori eligible too in Cortez Ratima

[Stargazer]

@FakatavaAllBlack Yep, probably Ratima and Drummond

Bailyn grinning when Zarn is lifting tin ... brotherly banter?

@Stargazer I don't want to be pedantic but the name of the club is the Poneke Football Club. A minor correction but one that means a lot to us who are members of "Football" clubs that play rugby. Shame on the boffins at the Rugby Union to make such a bad slip up.

@Crucial If Suafoa and Dickson are available then it's very harash to drop them.

[Nepia]

@Crucial Do you know what the bright white signifies for those 5 players?

@Tim Wasn't Dickson with the ABs so maybe he's been left out due to that?
