Indigenous halfback Nicho Hynes says it's more important to celebrate culture than for there to have a been a winner of the All Stars clash that ended in a 16-16 draw with the Maori side.

With halfback Te Maire Martin off the park nursing an ankle injury, Maori hooker Zach Dockar-Clay had the ball in his hands to take a game-winning shot at field goal from 30 metres out on Sunday.
