@kiwiinmelb no. Imagine saying all Pākeha are eligible for selection for the English team? It's a completely different country and the languages do have differences.
So does a Cook Islands Maori have Maori whakapapa ?
Genuine question because I don’t know , not saying you are wrong by the way.
My understanding is he must have that plus be a representative of New Zealand rugby union and have Maori whakapapa .
Very different to English selection
No, at least not in the same sense as a New Zealand Maori. i.e. a NZ Maori whakapapa traces back to an original NZ Maori ancestor / ancestors. A Cook Island Maori would not

Suprised no Kara pryer as I think he been playing really well
-
Seen nothing in billy proctor,rather wainui in midfield over him and Joe Webber been in great form for Waikato so did think he would make it but more or less squad I expected
-
@family-man Joe Webber will play at the Ignite 7s tournament (same weekend). That's also why other players (such as Kurt Baker, Regan Ware, Caleb Makene) aren't available. Agree about Proctor.

Pretty sure Roots has covered lock for the Crusaders
Yeah, he's played there for them.
I may be wrong but I can’t recall Roots ever playing/covering lock for us. He’d be no bigger than 6’2

@ACT-Crusader Definitely in pre-season. Didn't realise he was that short though. Doesn't look it.

@ACT-Crusader All I could find was this year's preseason game against the Hurricanes. He played in the 4 jersey in that game.
