I've been playing a bit of Rugby Challenge and decided to make my Maori XV. It was very difficult to select a team, the competition for positions would be very good. Just wondering if any one can improve on it???
What would your 22 look like?
Here's mine

There's probably a few people that i didn't think of, i am curious on eligibility of a few people as well.
Does any one know if the following are maori?
Conrad Smith? (He's from Hawera lol, and i always thought he may have some darker blood in him just doesn't look 100% European)
Whitelock Brothers? I see Sam Whitelock and think he could have maori heritage may be??
