Quins played the Maori All Blacks - if I have the title right -
a few years backs, 2015, was it?
Does that mean that only those of the Maori race can play for

Indeed, it was Wednesday November 16, 2016 as part of our 150
year celebrations. I recall it was a scratch team that we put
out (because of it being in the middle of the week with regular
fixtures in the adjacent weekends). We did okay, but lost 10-26.
As for the qualifications for being picked to play for the MABs,

V. interesting.
Could we field a Harlequins Anglo-Saxons side?
That would be deemed to be illegal under race laws in this
country, wouldn't it?
