The Black Ferns haka before their Test against France in Hamilton has gone viral, with clips passing 10 million views across the Black Ferns social media channels.
Fans around the world have been sharing the moment, and now you can watch the full version from the field. Ko Ūhia Mai, which translates as “Let It Be Known”, is the haka of the Black Ferns. It was composed by respected Māori rugby leader Te Whetu Tipiwai and speaks to wāhine standing together as one, drawing on whakapapa, connection to the land and the collective strength of women. More than a pre-match ritual, it reflects the pride, mana and resilience of the Black Ferns as they represent Aotearoa. Discover the story of Ko Ūhia Mai HERE.
