Star-studded All Stars teams announced for first ever New Zealand clash

The NRL have announced the teams for the upcoming All Stars clash, set to be played in New Zealand for the first time in history.

The Maori All Stars will take on the indigenous All Stars at Rotorua International Stadium on Saturday 11 February — and both squads are stacked with representative talent.

Joseph Manu, James Fisher-Harris, Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Joseph Tapine headline the Maori side.

Starford To’a, Daejarn Asi, Hayze Perham, Jesse Arthars, Zane Musgrove, Adam Pompey, Corey Harawira-Naera and Zach Dockar-Clay have also been included after not featuring in the 2022 showcase.

Meanwhile, the indigenous All Stars boast Josh Addo-Carr, Nicho Hynes, Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker and Jack Wighton.

The indigenous side have also named two players without NRL contracts — Kierran Moseley and Bailey Butler.

Moseley played for the All Stars in 2015 after making his debut for the Panthers in 2014, before featuring 20 times for the Titans across two seasons.

Meanwhile, Butler, who previously played for the Redcliffe Dolphins, currently packs in the front row for the Central Queensland Capras.
