Māori All Blacks to play Scotland in Whangārei
The Māori All Blacks will play Scotland in Whangārei in 2025 with the historic fixture marking 25 years since the two sides last met.
Fans will be treated to an afternoon of rugby and cultural exchange on at Semenoff Stadium on Saturday 5 July with a Black Ferns v Black Ferns XV trial match kicking off at 1:05pm and the Māori All Blacks v Scotland match at 3.35pm. Ross Filipo’s side will come into the match off the back of a match against the Japan XV in Tokyo, while Gregor Townsend-coached Scotland will be enroute to two Tests in the Pacific Islands.

Great stuff from the Scots bringing some games down here and to the islands.

So shit from the Scots.
Their strongest team in ages and they still aren’t actually playing a test match against NZ in NZ. Last time they did I was 23 years old.
What are they not? Is that their fault or ours?
Razor's fault.

After the list of ‘Fosters firsts’ the Scots had to cancel their tour in case they won

Nah Lions year, so there will be Scots in the Lions for the first time in years, normally it is like Highlanders in ABs

Yeah first time in years alright. Four to be exact, same as for every other nation too !

@Mr-Fish said in Māori All Blacks 2025:
Scotland could conceivably have up to 10 players in the Lions next season (probably more like seven or eight) - which would be their largest number in a long time.
I reckon there are 5 definites - Russell, Schoeman, Fagerson, Tuipoluto, Kinghorn
Then 3 highly likely - Dempsey, van der Merwe, Jones

Unfair to single out just Razor.
We should really be more generous and blame all Crusaders. -

He shouldn't be... Not even the best wing in Scotland.
Would have Graham, IFW, Lowe and Hansen all ahead of him, and maybe even Freeman too.

Nah.
Lots of good wingers in the BIL nations. My two starting wings for the tests would be Kinghorn and Lowe with Feyi-Waboso as impact/next cab.
