Attached is a great photo of the New Zealand Black Sox performance of the Haka and below is an appropriate caption.

In Kitchener, ON at the 8th annual Legends Tournament, the New Zealand Black Sox perform the "Haka" in tribute to Legends Honoree Robert Nopara "Chubb" Tangaroa.  "Chubb", from Hawkes Bay NZ and a former Black Sox pitching ace and current member of the coaching staff, was one of three fastball honorees, prompting his mates to mark the occasion with the "Haka".

Pictured left to right - Rhys Casley, Thomas Cameron, Wayne Laulu, Jerome Raemaki, Nathan Taikato, Ben Enoka (front,centre), Tyson Byrne, Penese Iosefo, Jerome Haretuku and Campbell Makea.

The "Ka Mate" haka generally opens with a set of five preparatory instructions shouted by the leader, before the whole team joins in:

Leader:	Ringa pakia!
Uma tiraha!
Turi whatia!
Hope whai ake!
Waewae takahia kia kino!
Leader:	Ka mate, ka mate
Team:	Ka ora' Ka ora'
Leader:	Ka mate, ka mate
Team:	Ka ora Ka ora "
All:	Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna i tiki mai whakawhiti te rā
A Upane! Ka Upane!
Upane Kaupane"
Whiti te rā,!
HÄ«!

Watch for the English translation in a future edition of Diamond Dirt.

Photos of Legends honorees to be posted in near future.

Thanks.
