The All Blacks




The New Zealand Football team is called the All Blacks. It's what we call rugby. They do a Maori war chant/dance called the Haka before every game. Haka means dance. When they play against other Polynesian teams both teams sometimes do their own. Check out the NZ vs. Tonga pre-game Haka on Youtube. Other New Zealand teams also do the Haka - we are hoping to see it when the NZ warriors play the Newcastle United Knights in Energy Australia stadium here in Newcastle on May 12. Stay tuned for the home video!
