What is the name of the New Zealand National Rugby Union team?

Player Elf Counsel, thanks Elf, I have been wondering why the All Blacks. National symbol is a great reason. National symbol, national sport, national team. Good combo.

__Flakey__, They are famous for dancing the hakka (don't know if that is the correct spelling) It's the Mauri war chant.

FreakyGhost89057, we are called Maori and the dance you refer to is a Haka

such a shame that the wonderful Jonah Lomu died, seeing him coming towards you must have been terrifying

FreakyGhost89057, Maori, haka. And isn't it the best?

Not bad for little old NZ where rugby (and netball) are our religion. Go the mighty All Blacks and Silver Ferns. 🖤

I remembered because of seeing video of them doing a haka before a game. Awesome!

PoisonKeymon, Reference to the team by the name of "All Blacks" first appeared during the Originals tour, when according to team mamber Billy Wallace, a London newspaper reported that the New Zealanders played as if they were "all backs"; Wallace claimed that due to a typographical error, subsequent references were to "All Blacks".

constantgamer0421, South Africa also won world cup three times!

RushMama2112, I love that haka and I only saw them for the first time about 2-3 years ago, as I didn't like rugby. It turns out I prefer it now to football. Rugby players are more of a gentlemen kind than footballers.

Spinal Tap album "Smell the glove" was all black.

Marshall, I have gone to youtube just to watch that awesome dance. First saw it in the movie, Whale Rider.

PoisonKeymon, A representative NZ team first toured the British Isles in 1905, the side now known as the Originals, as the All Blacks name emerged during this tour due to the typographical error I previously commented.

because there rugby strip us "all black"

Why all black
