Te Iwi Kiwi - Haka Lyrics?

[Wheeled Warrior]

Hey does anyone have the lyrics to the Kiwi League Teams Haka? So hard to find online.

I want to practice it more and share it with a group as we plan to head to the Sea Of Red crowd when NZ vs Tonga in June 2019?

Cheers

No idea, but maybe approach the NZRL for them.

Thanks Phil. I have emailed NZRL see where I go from there. It's quite a shame that it's not anywhere to be found online.

If we find a decent copy we could have listen and write down the lyrics, but the copies on YouTube are average.

I was looking into this the other day.

Lots online about the Union Haka.

NZRL don't have a clue about promoting Rugby League.

Any other outfit would have made this information available, because it promotes your sport... a foreign notion to our lot.

Good point bro they should be sharing the words and meaning for everyone to learn and get behind the team.

Wish my maori was better all i remember is something about tumatauengs (god of war) and to be careful (kia tupato) thats it haha
