Tātou ki te whutupōro
“Ōtākou” “Karawhuia Kotimana” and “Rutua” were heard booming from the North Stand as the Highlanders took on the Hurricanes on Saturday 5 March at the Forsyth Barr Stadium. There were over 40 KMK supporters cheering for the Highlanders, amped by the electric atmosphere of the first home game for 2016.
Tātou ki te whutupōro is a KMK initiative that brings whānau together to learn some rugby reo and strengthen our networks with other whānau who have a passion and interest in learning and using te reo as an intergenerational language.
It was awesome to gather together for this kaupapa and of course the win for Otago capped a great night off.
Fans meet and greet.
