Die "All Blacks" performen traditionell den "Ka Mate"-Haka, der um 1820 von Maori-Stammesführer Te Rauparaha verfasst wurde. Der Legende nach soll er damals der Verfolgung durch einen rivalisierenden Stamm gerade noch entkommen sein. Die wichtigste Textzeile lautet dementsprechend: "Ka mate, ka mate, ka ora, ka ora", auf Deutsch etwa "Ich werde sterben, ich werde sterben, ich werde leben, ich werde leben." Für den Rekordversuch in Auckland wurde ebenfalls der Ka Mate ausgewählt.
