Offensive Linemen/Defensive End From New Zealand on OV To Nebraska


Based on the last name I am.going to assume he is Maori. Which are the native Pacific Islanders of New Zealand. So the same as Helu and the 400 lb tackle that played for Minnesota. (Roy grew up in the USA but his dad was a Maori rugby player)

So my point is he probably grew up playing rugby. Why is that important? Well it means he is not afraid of contact and he probably has great endurance.

Lastly maybe they would allow him to occasionally lead a Haka prior to a few games. There is nothing more exciting than watching a pre match Haka prior to a NZ test match.

Cultural appropriation, Nebraska isnt NZ or South Pacific, a vigorous square dance would be much more appropriate :thumbsup:

If it is led by a Maori how exactly is it appropriation? You may not notice but not everyone on NZ is Maori. There are many of Eoropean descent. It is however always led by a Maori.
