Men’s and women’s Indigenous All Stars vs Maori All Stars have locked at Commbank Stadium on Saturday night.

The men’s and women’s Indigenous All Stars and Maori All Stars have locked in their starters for their blockbuster clash at Commbank Stadium on Saturday night.

There might be a few of the game’s biggest stars missing, but that hasn’t stopped both teams from producing formidable line-ups for the annual grudge match.

Indigenous All Stars vs Maori All Stars

It sets the scene for a mouth-watering battle as both sides aim to win and do their cultures proud in the representative clash.

Emotions will run high at CommBank Stadium on a special night for the game as the Maori All Stars and Indigenous All Stars renew their epic rivalry.

The concept was launched in 2010 when the Indigenous team took on an NRL All Stars outfit on the Gold Coast and for the past three years the Maori All Stars have stepped up to the plate to tackle the Indigenous side, with three intense clashes producing one win apiece and a 10-10 draw last year.

Laurie Daley’s Indigenous outfit will look to their explosive backline to ensure they get back in the winner’s list for the first time since 2019 while David Kidwell’s Maori side boast a powerhouse pack which includes James Fisher-Harris, Kenny Bromwich, Kevin Proctor and Warriors hardman Jazz Tevaga.

All Blacks star weighs in on Fiji’s future in Rugby Championship

Image
Nobody within  All Blacks  camp was surprised at the exploits of  Fiji in Dunedin. As the dust settles and the Monday afternoon match review begins, two men who watched from the sidelines say the All Blacks weren’t the least bit taken by surprise at how clinical Fiji were for large parts of the 57-23 encounter at the weekend. Who knows whether those statements are genuine or not, but the prevailing opinion within the All Blacks is one of satisfaction that a challenge of this magnitude has come so early in the part. These guys [Fijian players] are rockstars over there. I was well aware of that as was the team, especially around their threatening ball carriers. What happened out there was expected and they came with the intensity that we expected as well.
