[QUOTE="shiznit, post: 72400"] i dont know why people are using ***o as an example of someone thats not maori. yes he has red hair but ***O is a maori name??? to be included in the NZ Maori side you have to provide your Whakapapa which tracks you back to a maori ancestor. if you can do that then you can be included in the side. i heard from the last coach Matt Te Pou on the radio and he said that Dan Carter was put forward by the NZRFU to play for the Maori's in the last 3-4 years but after he was checked by local Kaumatua he couldnt be traced back. Paul ***o or Scott Linklader are prime examples of guys that look Pakeha(European) but have alot of Maori in them. theyre just more Pakeha than Maori i spose. then i use myself as an example, my surname is Davis, which is as bloody welsh as bread of heaven. yet if you took a look at me you could clearly see im Maori. brown skin, big nose etc.... unless your an expert in these players Whakapapa(geneoligy). i suggest you really dont know what your talking about....
