The Maori All-Blacks have called up in-form trio Cullen Grace, Sam Nock and Max Hicks for their tour-opening clash with Ireland next week. 

Coach Clayton McMillan has selected the trio for the Hamilton match against Andy Farrell's side, including No 8 Grace, who can count himself unlucky not to have made Ian Foster's squad.
