💜💛 Hawaikinui Tuarua ki te Ao! 💛💜

E mihi ana ki a koutou ngā wāhine toa o te kapa Manawaroa. Koutou ngā ringa o tā tātou karapu, arā ko Hawaikinui Tuarua Waka Ama. E mihi ana i tō kaha, i tō manawanui, i tō manawaroa!

Tau ai te mārohirohi o Hinemoana. Mauria mai te mana o tō tātou whaea mai i te marae o te Moananui a Kiwa ki ngā wai o tāwāhi!

Wishing you a safe and successful wakaama World Sprint Champs campaign in Singapore!
