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…..

[saa73]
