by your reasoning the British and Irish Lions shouldn't be a national side either, but you don't remove it? Recent edits to Ronan O'Gara? Both them and Maori All Blacks play international test matches. Also that is not true, you don't have to play a test match to be an All Black, like in SW's case here. I understand not listing the 1 cap since it wasn't a test, but I don't agree with removing the whole national team parameters. That is now misleading.. Think of players like Asafo Aumua.. he hasn't played a test so are you going to remove his?)

@Sirpottingmix: I've pasted your edit summary above.
The Maori All Blacks games are not "international test matches". Only full national teams' games are. The Lions are considered a national team, and their games against national teams are tests. I have just looked for sources that refer to Maori games as tests and didnt find any.
You're right, you don't have to play any tests to be considered an All Black, but if you haven't played any full international games then it shouldn't be listed in the infobox. Being an All Black, i.e. being picked for a squad, is not the same as making an international appearance.
Aumua's page is incorrect, so yes, it should be removed. See for example Warren Gatland or Matthew Ridge, In all of these cases, the text explains that they were selected for an All Black squad but never won a test cap.
If there are other players that haven't played international games and have the wrong details in their infobox, then I will correct them if I come across them. --hippo43 (talk) 02:24, 8 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
