Enough talk and win this Saturday, get out there and smash them
After watching many of all black haka I reakon the captain or the leader of the haka should hongi the opposing captain or somehow thank the team for standing there and watching the all blacks perform the haka.
Lets not forget there were other series of firsts:
1.Ireland wins on NZ soil for the first time.
2.All Blacks drop to their lowest rank of 4th in their history.
3.All Blacks lose consecutive matches in consecutive years.
4.Ian Foster has been involved either as coach or assistant coach in all of the All Black’s losses to Ireland.
5.Ian Foster coached the All Blacks to their first ever loss against Argentina in 2020.
6.Under Foster’s coaching , he led New Zealand to a 50% win/loss record in 2020.
