Tana Umaga will coach Moana Pasifika against the Māori All Blacks. The backline includes Super Rugby stars Vince Aso, Fetuli Paea, Stephen Perofeta, Folau Fakatava, Leceister Fainga'anuku and Salesi Rayasi. Umaga congratulated the players selected for the first ever Moana Pasifika side to take on one of New Zealand's favourite teams. "Many of the players are contracted Super Rugby players and all but one have proudly represented their provinces in Mitre 10 Cup in 2020. Moana Pasifika patron Sir Bryan Williams welcomed the first squad naming as an excellent tribute to the special relationship Pasifika nations have with rugby.
