No Maoris—No Hakas The All Black team in South Africa is not performing hakas before any of its games. According to a report in a South African newspaper, the manager, Mr J. H. Parker, was asked when the All Blacks would give their famous war cry. Mr Parker replied: “We are not going to give it at all on this tour. The war cry is a creation of the Maoris, and as we have no Maoris with us we are not giving the 'war cry.”
