Story and tradition🏈

The New Zealand national rugby team is one of the 5 most popular sports brands in the world with Ferrari, Real Madrid, Manchester Utd. and the New York Yankees. Regarding the origin of their name there are two theories: for the first the name derives from the color of their meshes. For the second from a refusal: a reporter of the Daily Mail, impressed by their ability, in 1905 called them “all the spines” all attackers, but the printer decided to correct it and added a consonant. The symbol of New Zealand is the famous silver idea that compares for the first time on military uniforms in the Second Boer War (1899-1902). Is all blacks surely what is Haka? The traditional Maori dance that the All Blacks perform before each official match to impress the opponent. Despite appearances, a war dance from the Maori is not guaranteed. Its basic elements are the «Pukana», or the dilating of the eyes, and the «Whetero», which consists in making the tongue. Their fame is that of invincible, in fact they are the nation that has the best record in official matches: 74.13% of victories in the test matches. They also won 9 editions (out of 13) of the Tri-Nations and 4 times, in 1978, 2005 and 2008 they integrated the British Grand Slam by beating Wales, England, Scotland and Ireland.
