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

This time we dive into Poi, Haka, Whakawātea and Kaitātaki, with each presenter bringing in their all-time favourite performances 🏆 From emotional classics to explosive stage moments, the debates got heated quickly 😮‍💨😂

And once again… our cam crew had the final say 👀

We also turn our attention to the upcoming Tāmaki Makaurau Regionals - one of the most competitive regions in the motu. With 23 teams fighting for just 6 spots at Te Matatini ki Hopuhopu, we unpack our top picks, judging discussions and whether regional judges should come from their own region 🤔🔥

With THREE previous winners returning this year, there’s no easy predictions and no guaranteed qualifiers 😳

Expect strong opinions, controversial picks, plenty of laughs and some serious haka yarns 🔥
