Kapa O Pango was created specifically for the All Blacks, first performed in 2005 ahead of a Tri Nations Test against South Africa at Carisbrook in Dunedin. It was introduced as a new haka to sit alongside Ka Mate, reflecting the teamโs evolving identity.
Composed by Derek Lardelli of Ngฤti Porou, a leading authority in tikanga Mฤori, the haka was developed over the course of a year in close collaboration with the team. Its name translates to โteam in blackโ, and its words and actions draw on the land of Aotearoa, the silver fern, and the unity of those who wear the jersey.
Ever heard of the Haka? ๐ค
Haka is a powerful expression of Mฤori culture, embodying pride, identity and mana. Woven into New Zealand Rugby for over 130 years, it connects our teams in black to their heritage, to each other, and to the voices and spirit of those who came before us.

We were lucky enough to spend some time at Strength HQ with Toyota and David Liti last week at his weightlifting gym, a place built to remove barriers for young people who might not otherwise have the opportunity or support to pursue sport. His vision is a safe space where young people can train, learn and belong, whatever their circumstances.
