i always have the impression that the Chiefs end up with the weakest looking team in all of these "all time" lists

We can't select the white fellas so no Jones or Retallick in this team.

@Canes4life Great squad.
Heaps of great players to pick from and it kind of feels wrong not to have Victor Vito and Julian Savea in that squad.
I'd put Coy Jane at 14 instead of MNS.Oh yeah, good spotting, I should take my like back of @.Wellington4Life
No issue with not having Fatty and Victor in there though over the guys chosen.You guys don't consider Bunce good enough for the Chiefs?

Was Rupeni leftie? Fair enough to leave him out if the option is Jonah.
But I'm somewhat more in favour of Vidiri over Toeava ( @mariner4life ).
I went with a Polynesian team (not Fijian)

For so.e reason I thought Jones played for NZ Maori. Can anyone confirm?

Nope, not even close ... have you not heard him try to pronounce Kia ora?

@booboo said in Best Maori & Polynesian Super Rugby XV's:
No Saders team yet. Not surprising given they're all SWBs ...
Here's a start:
15 Dagg
14 Gear
13 Norm Berryman
12 Mauger
11 Guildford
10 Rangi (we'll keep up the pretence that DC is a white boy). Actually, maybe Mo'unga.
9 Fotuali'i
8 Cribb
7 Taufua (can't think of any 7s, he should have played 7, and will keep @Chris-B and @Stargazer happy considering Havilli didn't make the team)
6 Tuiali'i
5 Maxwell
4 Filipo
3 Feek
2 Taylor
1 MoodyEdit: Interesting numbering, I can't be bothered swapping the order but now I know to list it the other way.

)

10 Rangi (we'll keep up the pretence that DC is a white boy). Actually, maybe Mo'unga. Definitely Richie Mo'unga
9 Fotuali'i or Bryn Hall

6 Tuiali'i
5 Maxwell
4 Filipo
3 Feek or Nepo Laulala
2 Taylor

@Stargazer These appear to be Poly teams so no Fijian wings* allowed (also Vunibaka over Tamanivalu if they were up for selection). *Unless they're Rotuman I guess.

@Nepia Ralph at 11. I can't believe I said that!
If I'm picking a Crusaders team I'm taking the two Magpies that are available.
I didn't take into account that Ralph is from The Bay.
