Maoris perform Haka below Eiffel Tower

October 05, 2007

New Zealand's All Blacks are widely expected to beat France in their World Cup match on Saturday in Cardiff's Millenium Stadium but they don't want France to feel bad. So a New Zealand delegation, including Prime Minister Helen Clark, put on a bit of show in front of the Eiffel Tower, with an enormous rugby ball blessed in true Maori style and a Haka performance, and an explanation of what it all means. Images, and soundbites from Clark and a Maori Haka performer.
