The 2012 New Zealand Māori rugby union tour of England was a series of three matches played by the Māori All Blacks (then known as the New Zealand Māori team) in England.[1]

Despite playing three fixtures, only one would be against a test international nation (Canada); this was the second time the two teams met. The Māori team also faced English domestic team Leicester Tigers and a RFU Championship XV, a team consisting of players that compete in England's second-tier club tournament, RFU Championship.

Notes:

  • This was not considered a Test Match and is part of the new scheme the IRB introduced to increase the competitiveness in tier 2 teams ahead of the next World Cup.
  • At the 21st minute, referee Martin Fox pulled a hamstring, prompting assistant referee Ross Campbell to take over as the official.

Squad

It was announced that Highlanders head coach Jamie Joseph, would coach the side for the 2012 tour, after leading the Māori's to success over England in 2010.[7]

Joseph named his 26-man squad on 29 October 2012.[8]

Note: Flags indicate national union as has been defined under IRB eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-IRB nationality.
