Rugby legend Sir John Kirwan discusses what the 鈥楬aka鈥�, the traditional ancestral war cry of the M膩ori people of New Zealand, means to himself and the All Blacks.

Sir John, who scored 143 points in 63 matches for the All Blacks in the 1980s and 1990s, said for him the Haka is a direct connection between himself and his late father.

鈥淢y father passed away five years ago ... When I do the Haka, I am respecting everything that has gone before me," he said. 鈥淚 can show respect to my father by doing it properly."

鈥淓very one of those All Blacks will have their little story to show respect,鈥� he added.
