Haiku not Haka?!? Challenge 10

 

have declared that the All Blacks' haka 

is "unsportsmanlike" and describe it as "a sideshow". 

  

The International Rugby Board have agreed and have ruled that a 

haiku, not a haka, 

must be performed by the All Blacks at the final of the Rugby World Cup.

Your challenge is to write a haiku 

that the All Blacks can use instead of the haka.

What is a Haiku?

• Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. 
• The first has 5 syllables, the middle line has 7 syllables and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables.
• The lines do not have to rhyme.

Example 1    

haiku or haka
doesn't matter on game day
still world's number 1

Example 2
All Blacks are the best
Australians are way NOT
poor English, but oh so true!

Example 3
collisions and pain
we're so tough we do not care
victory is ours!
