Provincial Teams Also Nor is such prominence to be found only on the international plane, for there are also to be found strong and continual challenges by increasing numbers of Maori players for position in provincial teams. To recall a few, there were: Porima, Raureti (Waikato). Maniapoto, Walsh, Herewini, Pryor, Nathan, Rangi (Auckland, holders of the Ranfurly Shield). Nicholls, Taitoko (Manawatu). Walters, Yates (North Auckland). Tapsell, Orme, Taiaroa (New Zealand Universities). Mahupoka (Wairarapa). These are only a few of them; there were dozens more. In the East Coast, Hawkes Bay, Counties, King Country, Taranaki, and the other provincial sides Maori players were present in large and representative numbers. New Zealand can boast of having many excellent Maori rugby players right down to Club level.
