<p>Hey Chicago, the All Blacks are coming: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.allblacks.com/News/28761/historic-double-header-of-all-blacks-and-maori-rugby-in-chicago-in-november'>http://www.allblacks.com/News/28761/historic-double-header-of-all-blacks-and-maori-rugby-in-chicago-in-november</a></p>

<p>given the US Rugby team beat the All Blacks <span style="font-size:8px;">7s <span style="font-size:14px;">a few times last year, I wonder if that will help raise the profile for the USA v <span style="font-size:8px;">Maori</span> All Blacks?</span></span></p>

<p>I have zero problem with the NZRFU naming them the Maori ABs and the AB 7s.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What do you want people: naming purity and all our best players overseas? Or whoring out the name to our other teams, and (maybe) enough money to keep our best players in NZ?</p> -
<p>Didnt say I had an issue with it! </p>

<p>Looking at your signature, I really didn't realise Grant Nisbett was Scottish "That shad dooit!"</p> -

<p>Random post Billy ... where did that come from?</p> -
<p>Oh ... sorry ... I get it. You misread TR's post.</p>

<p>This should be a goody.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Am lining up a crew here to travel for the "weekend". </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope it's a sellout and would love a repeat of the famous Giants Stadium giant-killing match in 1994. :)</p> -
Sorry Pot, I can't see the US beating the Maori....;)

<p>I remember watching NZ Maori playing Scotland and Kees Meeuws made a big charge, the Scots Commentator ( not Bill McLaren ) was amazed....."Woold ya loook a' the size o' tha' Mooori" he exclaimed.</p> -
<p>Just as a reminder tickets have begun going on pre-sale this week, I believe full sale on Thursday. I cannot imagine this isn't a reasonably quick sell out with the Irish interest.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure if I will make it but best to pocket a couple just in case.</p> -

<p>Did he? I mainly remember the Sopranos one.</p>

<p>Well, to put your mind at ease, I don't have a problem with Toeava and I have never met Tony Johnson.</p> -

<p>Which presale did you use? I'm still wondering if it's worth buying the Maori game to ensure getting an early shot at the test (unlikely to be able to make it in early enough on the Friday)</p>
