All Blacks

by Masanori Kawaguchi
(Tokyo, Japan)

New Zealand is famous for its men's national rugby union team. The team is often called the All Blacks. The All Blacks is one of the strongest teams in national rugby union teams and famous for Haka.

Haka is a traditional dance from the South Pacific islanders mostly known as the Māoris of New Zealand.

Although I don't know rugby so much, I have known the All Blacks before, because I saw the Haka performed by my high school rugby team.

I would like to watch a game of the All Blacks and Haka at a stadium someday, and perform the Haka with the All Blacks.

The All Blacks' Haka dance
by: Gary Wolff

Thanks, Masanori, for your nice story.

Yes, the All Blacks are a very strong team, aren't they?

I also would love to see the Haka dance someday, and I wish you much luck in achieving your dream of dancing the Haka ! :-)
