Always liked this song... tried to work it in to something positive about Hudson-Wihongi's journey to the club.



Te Atawhai
Everything is kapai
You're here at last
You're really here at last

Te Atawhai
Not a cloud in the sky
Wellington he plays
Auckland, thanks again

You're welcome as the sunshine
You're welcome as the rain
Pōkare like the season
You'll be great here again

Te Atawhai
Everything is kapai
You're here at last
You're really here at last

Poi-e, we've got Te Atawhai

Poi-e, we've got Te Atawhai

Poi-e, we've got Te Atawhai

Poi, TAKU, poi-e

I'm just gonna keep pushing this at every turn because I think it's immense. I'm totally not biased towards my own chant of course :)

This came to me 2/3 years ago and I've been waiting for us to sign him, for this reason alone. 

I think it's one of very few chants that actually has the potential to go round the stadium, for families and everyone to join in on, as it's such a well known kiwi tune and the lyrics are very basic i.e. only one part changed from the original. 

I love all of YF's chants but there's only a very small number that actually catch on enough outside of the zone and therefore get heard through the tv clearly, and this one could potentially be one of those, in my opinion.

It's always a challenge trying to some up with something simple that everyone knows. Just loop the chorus or add more verses and bridges?

I saw your Poi-e chant in some other thread so tried to stay away from it. 

I've always liked Haere Mai (it's on some ad recently as well) and as mentioned thought I could shift the lyrics in to something what I think was nice/positive about his journey to the club. I'll definitely sing a Poi-e version!

The other thing we lack is definite kiwi chants... I can only think of a few...

The referee is shark

There's nothing like Tim Brown

It would be great to play more on our unique kiwi-ness.

Yea that's what I reckon eg more kiwi style chants.

I was quite gutted when I saw C-Diddy's Hudson-Wihongi one as I immediately thought it was really good, and to a good tune for chanting, but that it would probably mean my poi-e one will never be a thing :(
