<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>Random post Billy ... where did that come from?</p> -
<p>This should be a goody.</p>

<p>Am lining up a crew here to travel for the "weekend". </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>Well, to put your mind at ease, I don't have a problem with Toeava and I have never met Tony Johnson.</p> -
