The All Blacks haka meets the Tongan Sipi Tau for the third time in World Cup history tomorrow morning - and the sight of the duelling pre-match showdowns will be a riveting spectacle for the 50,000 plus supporters at Newcastle's iconic St James' Park - and the millions watching via television.
It will be the only time in the tournament that both teams will perform a pre-match "cultural challenge", as World Rugby quaintly call the haka and Tonga's Sipi Tau.
Most interest will lie in whether the teams perform their hakas at the same time and advanced on each other as they did when they electrified Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium in a pool match clash at the 2003 World Cup in Australia.
