Players representing the Indigenous All Stars and the Maori All Stars will face off a men’s contest, a women’s, and this year a touch football game will also take place.
There was controversy this week when it was confirmed South Sydney star and proud Aboriginal man Latrell Mitchell won’t be allowed to participated, as he’s serving an NRL suspension which still has two games to run.
Mitchell has led the Indigenous All Stars in their pre-game war dance for the last few years.
