This week on Haka Yarns, Anipātene, Chey and Kereama kick off the ultimate Haka Yarns Fantasy Bracket 👀🔥

We’re starting with the classics - Waiata Tira, Whakaeke, Mōteatea and Waiata-ā-ringa - as each presenter brings in their favourite items of all time to battle it out for a spot in the ultimate fantasy lineup. From iconic throwbacks to unforgettable moments that shaped the kapa haka world, these are the performances that still live rent free in our heads.

But here’s the twist… our cam crew get the final say on who the best is 👀 Who deserves to make the Haka Yarns Fantasy Bracket? Jump into the comments and back your favourites.

We also reflect on last week’s Te Tairāwhiti Tamararo regionals, unpacking the results, standout performances, big moments from the stage, and which qualifying kapa have earned a place in the Haka Yarns TOP 12 🔥

Expect hot takes, nostalgia, debates, and plenty of haka yarns.
