To celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, learn the words and translation of Ka Mate. Ka Mate was performed by the New Zealand Native team on their long and arduous tour of 1888/89, and by the “Original” All Blacks in 1905. Haka were traditionally then performed prior to All Blacks matches outside New Zealand through until 1986 when All Blacks Wayne “Buck” Shelford and Hika Reid were instrumental in introducing Ka Mate to matches in New Zealand from 1987, and ensuring that it was performed with passion, precision, intensity and pride. #TeWikioteReoMāori #Haka Credit: @skysportnz ------------------------------------ #AllBlacks #Blackferns #Rugby #footy #football #rugbyunion #footy #sports #sportstalk #newzealandrugby #newzealand #highlights #haka ------------------------------------ Stay up to date with the All Blacks through our socials: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/allblacks/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AllBlacks TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@allblacks X - https://www.twitter.com/AllBlacks Website - https://www.allblacks.com/ ------------------------------------ Black Ferns: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/blackferns/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BlackFerns TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@blackferns X - https://www.twitter.com/blackferns ------------------------------------ Sign up to NZR+ to watch exclusive content, documentaries, behind the scenes access, and more for FREE at https://get.nzrplus.com/ ------------------------------------ NZR+ is available on: Web (all major browsers) at https://get.nzrplus.com/ Android mobile, tablet and Android TV (on the Play Store search NZR+ and click the "New" tab), and Chromecast Apple iOS iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, (search NZR+ in the App Store), Airplay, LG TV and Samsung TV. ------------------------------------ Follow the All Blacks youtube channel for more highlights and exciting action! – Subscribe: https://bit.ly/AllBlacksYTUBE
