NRL Indigenous All Stars v Māori All Stars on Channel 9 – Footy season is back with a bang when two rich cultures collide in an emotionally charged encounter between the NRL Indigenous All Stars v Māori All Stars, live and free on the 9Network or to stream on 9Now this Friday, February 16.
The Indigenous All Stars feature the finest NRL and NRLW players in the game with Latrell Mitchell, Nicho Hynes and Tamika Upton all lining up at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville for a ripping evening of footy.
The freakishly fast Hamiso Tabui-Fidow (Dolphins), Josh Addo-Carr (Bulldogs) and Alofiana Khan-Pereira (Titans) are all set to jet, as well as Broncos lethal weapon 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, Brandon Smith and Joseph Tapine to lead the charge for them.
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.”
Three Indigenous All Stars v Māori All Stars clashes will play out with coverage beginning at 4.30pm AEDT with Touch Football, followed by the Women’s and Men’s fixtures.
Featuring on Nine’s Wide World of Sports coverage of the 2024 All Stars fixture will be proud First Nations people Johnathan Thurston and Marlee Silva live from the ground in Townsville, while host James Bracey is be joined by experts Andrew Johns, Billy Slater, Ruan Sims and match callers Mat Thompson and Brenton Speed.
