One of the coolest things, seeing the crowd with the poi with the waiata like that ❤

The first time I heard this song was at this game live TV and it gave me goosebumps and tears these people all so proud of there culture it was beautiful, I'm Australian but my Moko's are Maori/Tongan and I was moved emotionally so proud of all you performing and even seeing the crowd proud just beautiful. Now my favourite song and still gives me goosebumps.

I’m so glad they performed and are still being asked to perform, and hearing Nanny Hui’s lead vocal fill the stadium is wonderful. The group looked smaller this time, with less of the original founding members. It’s sad how times change. There’s video from just 11-12 years ago when the group looked so much bigger and so many more familiar faces were performing. I hope the younger generation can continue Patea Maori Club’s legacy and learn these performances properly and perform them with heart and with enthusiasm… as this performance looked a bit soulless to me. Smiling faces, but not much passion.
