Munster school’s Haka with a hurley will get you in the mood for the Maori All Blacks' visit

This is something we’d enjoy seeing in Croke Park next September, writes Stephen Barry.

High School Clonmel's first-year rugby team won the chance to train with the Maori All Blacks after winning a Haka competition.

The former school of second-row Dave Foley incorporated a hurley into their version of the war dance, making for a spectacle that’d have all other first-year teams quaking in their boots.

The Haka is led by Taine Walters, the son of a New Zealand native. Walters is also related to current Maori All Black Kara Pryor, who is on the bench for tonight's game at Thomond Park.

His grandfather, Muru Walters, still holds the points-kicking record (211) for the Maori All Blacks.

Walters and his Clonmel teammates even got the chance to face-off with the Maoris at Thomond Park.

Kick-off for the sold-out match is at 7.30pm.
