The Indigenous All Stars have added a handful of players to the men’s squad ahead of Saturday’s pre-season showpiece in Rotorua.
The All Stars fixture has been hit by a number of high-profile players withdrawing in recent days.
Josh Addo-Carr was the first to pull the pin on Friday, and now a number of his Indigenous teammates have followed suit.

Ezra Mam, Chris Smith, and Will Smith have all pulled out of the squad, opening the door for Daine Laurie, Albert Kelly, Isaiah Tass, and Braydon Trindall to be added.
The Indigenous squad flew out of Sydney and landed in New Zealand on Monday.
