[QUOTE="ranger, post: 324795, member: 40555"] Are you serious?.. because it is about MAORI CULTURE. putting non maori in the team kind of defeats this point dont you think? That is actually quite a stupid statement when you think about it. I have given the reasons why it is more than rugby and that is why non maori arent there. Also, they check their genealogy, but that check is what i refered to before; being able to identify your Marae and identify as Maori. How about this, what evidence do you have that it is 1/16th? I have been involved in alot of Maori rugby, i just know that it isn't one 1/16th. There isn't a concrete line where they say "you're Maori, you're not" thats not how Maori roll. You either are maori and you know it or you aren't and you wouldn't dare claim you were. Theres no real reason to have a solid line.. Haha and Nick, it actually pained me to write that. Maybe there is more to life than rugby, but just not much more [/QUOTE]
