Anyone heard if the US match will be streamed on the AB site?
Not on the ABs tv site, apparently.
I don't know how this works (whether you can join for just the Rugby Weekend games, or whether you have to take a monthly subscription), but you could check this out:

@kiwimurph Was Regan Ware named in the original squad?
@Stargazer Looks like that site doesn't have the rights for the Maori game - it's not listed on their list for Sunday.
I wonder if Walden and Thompson are related - there can't be too many who are a mix of Kahungunu/Nga Rauru floating about.

@bovidae said in The Māori All Blacks' tour to the Americas:
It shows the lack of depth at prop in the Maori team if Eves and May continue to be starters.
There's not great depth, but there's a few young guys coming through (and Moody and Lomax are with the ABs and Hames is out concussed). Anyway halfback is the Maori position of depth - almost equivalent to the Highlanders and loose forwards.

@nepia No, Regan Ware wasn't named in the original squad. I suspect he has taken the place of Caleb Makene, who was named in the squad only for this specific game, because of NMS being in Japan. IIRC, Makene got injured in the M10 Cup Final.
I'm sure that Flo Rugby has the rights for all three Rugby Weekend games, as it it's advertised as such on the USA Rugby twitter page. See also this from the media release in which the USA touring squad is announced:
USA opens their schedule at home on Nov. 3 against the Maori All Blacks as part of The Rugby Weekend's triple-header at Chicago's Soldier Field. The event will also include the return of the Women's National Team against the New Zealand Black Ferns, with Ireland and Italy competing against one another as well. Tickets are available at therugbyweekend.com with the match streamed LIVE on FloRugby.Was it possible to sign up for only this weekend's games?

@bovidae said in The Māori All Blacks' tour to the Americas:
@nepia Nope on Ware.
Travelling as a replacement for the USA leg only, is Canterbury wing Caleb Makene, of Ngapuhi descent.
Makene got injured didn't he?
Not sure about Makene. I would have thought Bailyn Sullivan would have got the nod over Ware - unless he's not Maori.
@Stargazer I did a search of their games and couldn't find it, I'll have another look today.

From the media release:
The squad includes Sam Nock and Isaac Salmon who were added to the squad last week, and sevens sensation Regan Ware, has been named to start on the wing, after he was called into the squad as an injury replacement. “Regan’s opportunity comes unfortunately through an injury to Caleb Makene who was injured in the Final. Regan trained with us at our camp in Tauranga and made a really good impression and fortunately, the All Blacks Sevens accommodated our request to have him released. He was another player who really showed his ability during Mitre 10 Cup with Taranaki.” -

I just looked at it again; it's listed on 3 November as "The Rugby Weekend".
Also noticed that it's US$29.99 for the whole month. Then you have to cancel it before it renews for the next month.
