Māori All Blacks to play Ireland?
-
@broughie Shame they can't find a brother of IWL playing in the back blocks of the East Coast somewhere. That would fulfill the Maori ancestry requirement as well as the getting the Fijian genes needed to be a decent winger.
-
if this was NZ A imagine the players getting exposure...
-
@Higgins The East Coast is not the only place to find Maoris. Most of NZ rugby players have some maori DNA in them. How about Ennor? Surely his relatives tasted of the forbidden fruit. :-).

@Bovidae So how good are the coaches?
Well for a start they wouldn't know a winger if they fell over one.
Strange comment. There aren't that many Māori wingers in SR. Our best Māori winger plays at centre for the All Blacks.
Going through the SR outside back lists: Stevenson (more fullback than wing) is in the squad, Lowe is injured, CG-B is in the squad, Moorby and Love are in the squad (both are also more fullbacks than wings). Looking at midfielders who can possibly play on the wing: Tupaea is in the ABs; B Sullivan, Nankivell and Poihipi are in the squad.

It was a dig at them as Chiefs coaches as well. Two teams, bugger all firepower on the wing.

@Crucial How the hell do you post a picture on this forum. I’m old and have no idea
Where is the picture from, and what device are you using?
@Machpants IPhone. I see the pic icon but it does not grab from my pics.

He is certainly someone special, managing to get selected in multiple teams even when there is doubt of his acutual existence.

that explains why he seems to be unsighted while playing

Weber, Ioane, Stevenson, Nankivell, B Sullivan, C Garden-Bachop, Z Sullivan
Bench: Perenara, Love, Moorby
I've combined as much the players who play or have played together in SR.
@Stargazer Moorby over Garden-Bachop on form I reckon but that looks like the most likely backline.
Also, interesting that Rakete-Stones doesn’t feature.
