    No surprise to see the highly musical Amalia Hall in this lineup.

    What exactly does the “all black” comment have to do with anything?

    • Max Grimm says:

      It refers to Amalia Hall from New Zealand.
      The nickname of the New Zealand national men’s rugby union team is “All Blacks”.

  • Mike Thompson says:

    Give it your all Amalia 🙂
