    The words of the Timatanga :

    I te timatanga
    Ko te Kore
    Ko te po nui
    Ko te po roa
    Wehenga Matua
    Herenga Tangata
    He toa Rangatahi
    He toa Rangatira
    Whakaki te Maunga
    Tae ki te Whenua
    Hoki ki te Rangi
    Tae ki te Pukerunga
    Piki ake piki ake
    Ki te ara Poutama
    Ki nga Taumatatanga e
    Wairua Hinengaro Tinana

    Translation :

    In the beginning
    there was nothing
    the big darkness
    the long darkness
    the separation of Rangi and Papa
    formed man/people
    formation of young warriors
    formation of young chiefs
    if you aim for the mountains
    you will hit the plains
    if you aim for the sky
    you will hit the mountain peaks
    climb up, thrive
    to the pathway of knowledge
    to achieve excellence
    spiritually, mentally, physically

    Normally the haka will start off with a despairing picture, like kart mati, and end on a high note. I will think of something 😉

    I think she is referring to the exposure of the roast beef and the 6-pack…..

    Azlan, which All Blacks jersey do you have? I have a really old Steinlager one, the NZ Sevens one and an older Adidas one, all with the number 7 at the back…..
