            I managed to grab 4 tickets about a week ago, surely not sold out already?

              I don't have a code, so only single seats left. GA available, but I'd rather a seat

                    I don't know about Springer but:

                    Tongan - Kautai, Tangitau
                    Samoan - Kirifi, T and P Umaga-Jensen
                    Niuean - G and M Wrampling

                    It's possible some might qualify but the likes of Kautai, the Umaga-Jensens and Kirifi would have been selected previously you would think.

                      So looking at the squad for 2025's matches against Japan and Scotland, I wonder if the All Blacks coaches will send some of the 'fringe' players to Japan with the MABs for their first match (which is played the week before the first Test against France). If the likes of Ruben Love, Billy Proctor and Noah Hotham aren't going to be playing in that opening Test, I'd personally rather see them get some minutes for Maori (especially given they've already had plenty of time in All Blacks camp).

                      The MABs will likely have to rely on some provincial players to plug the gap at hooker, prop and possibly outside back.

                      Just looking at who's actually known to be eligible and played Super Rugby this year or played for the Maori last year (I've included last year's All Blacks in italics, plus Quinn Tupaea who I think is probably a dead cert)...

                          So looking at the squad for 2025's matches against Japan and Scotland, I wonder if the All Blacks coaches will send some of the 'fringe' players to Japan with the MABs for their first match (which is played the week before the first Test against France). If the likes of Ruben Love, Billy Proctor and Noah Hotham aren't going to be playing in that opening Test, I'd personally rather see them get some minutes for Maori (especially given they've already had plenty of time in All Blacks camp).

                          The MABs will likely have to rely on some provincial players to plug the gap at hooker, prop and possibly outside back.

                          Just looking at who's actually known to be eligible and played Super Rugby this year or played for the Maori last year (I've included last year's All Blacks in italics, plus Quinn Tupaea who I think is probably a dead cert)...

                            As far as I'm aware, Jackson Garden-Bachop is the only MP player with Maori heritage. I believe he's trying to play for Samoa, however (and I don't think MP players can be selected for NZ rep sides for the first time anyway, and he's not very good).

                              @Mr-Fish I'd rather pick Robinson over JGB. Robinson I thought looked quite sharp in his most recent SR game when he started.

                                As a futile exercise in nothingness, this is what a Pacific All Blacks side (without any Maori players, or likely All Blacks) could look like, if they ever got one off the ground...
