Kī-o-rahi

[1] Two teams of eight players play on a circular field divided into zones, and score points by touching the 'pou' (boundary markers) and hitting a central 'tupu' or target.

[2][3] The programme will give instruction in 15 ethnic games to seven million primary school children.

The women's team coached by Andrea Cameron (Head of PE at Tikipunga High School) also won by 33–0.

Harko Brown, a physical education teacher at Kerikeri High School, who was taught the game in the late 1970s on his marae in the south Waikato, described it as "an indigenous game imbued with tikanga Māori with a very long history ... of a pre-European nature."

References to the ancient forms of the game can be found in his book Nga Taonga Takaro.
