Maori All Blacks unbeaten run
by PrichardThatcher Sun Jul 12, 2015 7:19 pm
First topic message reminder :
The Maori All Blacks have set a new record, extending their unbeaten run to 19 consecutive matches.
The Maori All Blacks have not been beaten since 2003 - and their narrow 27-26 come back win over Fiji extended the record yesterday.
Amongst others the side have beaten first tier teams Ireland, England, Samoa and The British and Irish Lions on the way to setting the record.
The ethnically selected side has been a vital proving ground for All Black hopefuls and currently includes notable up-and-comers Otere Black and Reiko Ioane.
A proud record and worthy team - but is ethnic exclusion just racist?

South Africa used to....
South Africa still do.. what is it, 50/50 these days? Did they ever go with the 60/40 split that was proposed a few years back?
Crazy.

And even imposed their selection policy on touring teams.

Well england tried out the policy of only selecting those of polynesian or south african background for a while

So they've been beaten again by an international class side but their unbeaten run continues.

Well done the Maori's on extending their run by getting beat....
I'd like to point out that Newcastle Falcons were unbeaten last season(bar our 16 defeats). I'm really hoping we can extend the run next season.
