NRL officially unveil squads for Indigenous vs Maori All Stars clash

Some of the biggest names in rugby league have officially been named in the NRL All Stars squads, with the Indigenous and Maori sides set to do battle on February 12th.

Josh Addo-Carr, David Fifita and Nicho Hynes will all represent the Indigenous team, which will be coached by Raiders legend Laurie Daley.

“There’s definitely a fair bit of speed and excitement in this squad,” Daley said. 

“Importantly we have a strong and proud group who will grow from the experience that is All Stars.

"We have some newcomers to the contest as well which gives us such an opportunity alongside others who are All Stars veterans.

"Our players will be very keen to learn about themselves, their teammates – and to also educate others. That’s what makes this game so special.”

There are some notable names missing from the side however. Cody Walker and Jack Wighton are both unavailable, while Latrell Mitchell is out suspended. 

For the Maori team, the likes of James Fisher-Harris, Kenny Bromwich and Jordan Rapana will line up for coach David Kidwell.

“I’m so thankful to have a group of players who are honoured to represent their culture," said Maori All Stars coach David Kidwell.

"This is such an important week for the game and our players recognise this. They will all do what they can to represent themselves, their whanau and their iwi.”

The women's Indigenous vs Maori All Stars game will also take place prior to the men's game, with some of the best players from NRLW set to take the field.
