Excitement at Eden Park for first day of Te Matatini

From Checkpoint, 5:57 pm on 22 February 2023

Fifteen haka groups from across the motu performed today at the long awaited Te Matatini national kapa haka festival.

It was day one for the competition and there were lots of excited haka fans and we caught up with one group who performed for the first time on the national stage.
