Little Boy: Oh no i have to play rugby against the big boys.

Little Boys kick off and a big boy catches it. He starts running towards a little boy.

Little Boy: Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Spooderman spear tackles the boy and raises his thumbs.

Spooderman: Boom shacka lacka.

Little boy: Thank you Spooderman.

Tūmatauenga

Tūmatauenga is the main god of war and he is one of the sons of Ranginui (father of the sky) and Papatuanuku (earth mother). In tradition he was known to solve conflict through war.

There is a statue outside Eden Park so people can solve it, out on the rugby pitch.
