We are, we are the champion! 24 years of waiting, finally, the cup has come home.
watching it all the way from another country, I had always had the feeling yes this time is ours, 4 years ago I only heard rugby world cup, and we lost to France in semi final, I remember the critics, the news, but at that time i wasn't passionate about all black or rugby, or this little country.
Now, with the biggest pride, with tears in my eyes, I cried on the couch, when the whistle was blown, it was unreal. The moment was so fine, it was almost unbelievable. Little old New ZeaLand, number 1 rugby favourite team, and the host, and the nerve the tension... but finally, our boys carried it home!
My friend David cried, a rugby player himself, my friend and like a little sister, told me, twice: once when the game finish the whistle blew, 2nd when the inspirational captain Richie received the Cup, a tough man who can almost smash me with one blow as I know, David, cried.
History in the making, last night was. One of the finest.
Lastly let me give you this performance, famous war dance New Zealand perform before every game, conference, functions, called Haka, this one is called Kapa o Pango (All Blacks).
| Kapa o Pango kia whakawhenua au i ahau! | All Blacks, let me become one with the land |
| Hī aue, hī! | |
| Ko Aotearoa e ngunguru nei! | This is our land that rumbles |
| Au, au, aue hā! | It’s my time! It’s my moment! |
| Ko Kapa o Pango e ngunguru nei! | This defines us as the All Blacks |
| Au, au, aue hā! | It’s my time! It’s my moment! |
| I āhahā! | |
| Ka tū te ihiihi | Our dominance |
| Ka tū te wanawana | Our supremacy will triumph |
| Ki runga ki te rangi e tū iho nei, tū iho nei, hī! | And be placed on high |
| Ponga rā! | Silver fern! |
| Kapa o Pango, aue hī! | All Blacks! |
| Ponga rā! | Silver fern! |
| Kapa o Pango, aue hī, hā! | All Blacks! |
