THE 1993 LIONS DURING THE 38-10 DEFEAT TO WAIKATO
A TRULY
PRICELESS
PRIZE
THE WINNER OF TONIGHT’S MATCH WILL GET
more than just bragging rights; they’ll also be
presented with a specially made taiaha, a traditional
Maori weapon. There will also be taiaha at stake
in the matches against the Super Rugby sides
and Maori All Blacks. Tonight, the two teams
will be playing for a taiaha named Te Hiku.
Crafted to symbolise a friendly challenge,
Te Hiku will be brought to the field in a special
ceremony before the game begins – a unique prize
for a truly unique occasion.
