I think the point stands though that football and cricket are not the sports of choice for Maori and Pacific Islanders,
Surely the real issue is the opposite? Increasingly whiteys are taking their young lads out of rugby and league because they don't want them to get bulldozed and put them in football. It's also the "trendy, international" thing to do. I don't know about where you live but there is no shortage of Maori or Pasefika people playing the round-ball game where I am.
