As we seem to be into Rugby this week thought this maybe of interest !! The Haka - In the Beginning Some authorities record the first use of the haka by the New Zealand team as occuring in Britain in 1905/6. Sydney based Kiwi journalist Spiro Zavos however claims the very first New Zealand team, in New South Wales in 1884 "used a Maori war cry to introduce itself to its opponents before each of its matches". http://www.nzallblacks.net/haka.asp
