There's belief from some that the All Blacks' support for Hīkoi mō te Tiriti is a call for unity. As halfback TJ Perenara led the pre-test haka yesterday - he referenced the movement opposing the Treaty Principles Bill.

"He obviously talked to his teammates and coach about what the purpose and intent was behind the haka, so

So, it looks like the rugby bosses may have already realised how big a mistake they made with that haka, because we've now learned they've cut TJ Perenara's political bit in the version they've uploaded to their social media accounts.
