Four All Blacks released to play in NZ Maori team to play the United States in Chicago1 NEWS Blues coach Tana Umaga works with NZ Maori players ahead of this weekend's clash with the USA Eagles. All Blacks Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Elliot Dixon, Damian McKenzie and the uncapped Rieko Ioane have been drafted into the NZ Maori team to play the United States in Chicago on Friday (Saturday NZ Time). GETTY IMAGES Elliot Dixon, who has played two tests, is one of four members of the All Blacks squad who will represent the NZ Maori against the United States in Chicago. The addition of halfback Kerr-Barlow, right wing Ioane and fullback McKenzie should ensure the NZ Maori backline won't lack skill or speed. Cooper expected the four members of the All Blacks squad to fit seamlessly into his starting side.
