The first New Zealand Rugby team to tour overseas, playing eight matches in New_South_Wales, Australia, in 1884, performed "a Maori war cry" or haka before each of its matches. This due to the fact that the greater percentage of the team were to be Maoris. Later when the team toured the UK it was made up of a broad range of Maoris however, 4 NON Maoris were selected. The war cry was retained
