George Maber

George Maber (2 November 1869 – 17 December 1894) was a New Zealand rugby union player who represented the All Blacks in 1894. His position of choice was forward. Maber did not play in any test matches as New Zealand did not play their first until 1903.

Maber was described as "wiry built".

He played only two seasons of 1st-class rugby.

Although born in Kaiapoi, Maber played all of his club rugby for the Petone club in Wellington.

He was in the Wellington provincial side between 1893 and 1894.

After playing for his province against the touring New South Wales side in 1894, Maber was selected for the All Blacks to play in the unofficial "test" match which was also played on the tour. The match was lost 8-6.

This would be his only All Black appearance.

Because of his excellent showing in 1894 Maber received a trophy from the Petone club.
