Matches will play out with coverage beginning at 4.30pm AEDT
NRL Indigenous All Stars v Māori All Stars will air live and free on the Nine Network and stream on 9Now from this Friday, February 16.
Matches will play out with coverage beginning at 4.30pm AEDT with Touch Football, followed by the Women’s and Men’s fixtures.
The Indigenous All Stars feature names such as Latrell Mitchell, Nicho Hynes and Tamika Upton all lining up at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville. The team will also include Hamiso Tabui-Fidow (Dolphins), Josh Addo-Carr (Bulldogs) and Alofiana Khan-Pereira (Titans), as well as Broncos’ Kotoni Staggs.
The Māori All Stars, led by Brandon Smith and Joseph Tapine, are out for revenge after going down on home soil in New Zealand last year.
Indigenous All Stars player, and reigning Preston Campbell Medalist Nicho Hynes, said: “This game is a very special fixture and hugely important because it allows us to reconnect with our culture and then go out on the field and express that to the whole nation.”
“We’ve got some of the most entertaining and skilled players in the game in our team with Latrell, Kotoni Staggs, Josh Addo-Carr and Hamiso Tabui-Fidow, I can’t wait to get out there and defend our win from last year.
“What we do out on the field we hope inspires the next generation of Australians to learn about First Nations culture, because this is more than a game.”
