Maori are one of the two peoples that make up New Zealand (Maori and Pakeha). Maori as an individual people have every right to represent themselves in any field of endeavour that they choose including Rugby. This right is enshrined in New Zealand's founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi. The Maori rugby team has as much right to exist as any other representative team.
