The Middlesbrough HAKA. Who knew such a thing existed

[Abel Tasman]

Just doing a bit of research on Captain Cook and came across this video about the special Middlesbrough Haka.

Now this is what the team should be doing before the game in the playoffs.

Middlesbrough really does have a connection with NZ that isn't nearly mentioned enough. For example there is a town in the North Island called Marton that has a statue of the great man. Dorman Long built Auckland's Harbour Bridge (as well as Sydney's).

Indeed, plenty of Teesside connections here (apart from the 3 regualrs on here). If you go to Hamilton there's a suburb called Fairfield, a Norton Rd, and a suburb called Dinsdale .
That's a good haka that, I might brush up on it.
I've got a few good mates here that I watch sport with and when we watch the All Blacks they know ow well the team is going to do by how well they do the haka.
Too much effort and they'll be out of puff towards the end of the game and too little effort and they are not prepared enough is their take on it.
They're usually right too.
