    The kaumatua of the Maori All Blacks squad is making his presence felt ahead of tonight's match with Moana Pasifika

    The kaumatua of the Maori All Blacks squad is making his presence felt ahead of tonight's match with Moana Pasifika


    36-year-old former All Black Liam Messam hasn't played for the Maori All Blacks since the British and Irish Lions tour of 2017, but earned selection at number eight following a strong Mitre 10 Cup campaign with Waikato.

    Captain Ash Dixon says Messam's been instrumental in developing the younger players.



    Kick off from Hamilton's at 7.05pm.
