August 14, 2018

The New Zealand women's team arrived in Sydney last night.

The red carpet was well and truly rolled out for the Black Ferns as they touched down in Sydney last night, with a traditional Aboriginal welcome performed for the Women's Rugby World Cup champions.

Touching down in Sydney ahead of their Test with the Wallaroos this weekend, a local group were on hand to greet the Black Ferns, however what happened next would truly take them by surprise.

After the group had finished, the Black Ferns conjured up an acoustic guitar, before performing their own waiata in response.
