@stargazer said in 2021 Māori All Blacks:
So not used for this game are Ollie Norris, Pari Pari Parkinson, Reed Prinsep (must be injured, because injury replacement Jacob Norris is on the bench), and late additions Rameka Poihipi and Caleb Delaney.
Reed is at 6

Isaia Walker-Leawere is as maori as Paul Tito was. Just in the opposite way
-
@mackerzzzz Meaning?

@stargazer said in 2021 Māori All Blacks:
@mackerzzzz Meaning?
Nothing really just saying he looks like he has no maori blood in him
-
@mackerzzzz He's half Maori (Walker), half Fijian (Leawere).
-
@stargazer Maybe not half Maori unless the very English sounding name of Walker is a misspelling of Waaka.
-
jeez, i thought we gave up with the "looks maori" idea a long time ago, already mentioned vito, how about tony brown? conclusion, ya cant tell just by looking at someone

Not their strongest possible line-up, by the looks of it.
That's why I prefer pictures.
