Māori All Blacks to play Ireland?

@Dan54 although he may have subsequently made himself unavailable if they then came knocking after overlooking him initially?

I'm no longer confused about Grace. From the article it appears he always knew he was Maori, but didn't really know his whakapapa or interact with Te Ao Maori much, probably in part due to growing up in Timaru. Tamati Ellision encouraged him to make himself available.
I like that the Maori team can introduce players to Te Ao Maori if they didn't grow up in the culture.

I couldn't find this on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram, so I don't know whether this will embed properly.
Our newest documentary, Legacy: The Maori All Blacks, is premiering tonight at 7.30pm on Sky Sport 1, and we've got a sneak peek for you right here

Clearly not. :confused_face:
All links should go to the same video on Facebook.

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

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.
