The NZ Māori team is due to be announced on 2 June 2004
and coach Matt Te Pou is excited at the prospect of a good competition.
“This is quite exciting for us,” says Matt Te Pou. “I
believe both Canada and the United States will have learnt a
lot at the Rugby World Cup last year so they will be a bit more
experienced and would obviously want to do well in front of their
home supporters.”
Last year the Māori concluded their international season
with a three-match unbeaten tour of Canada, beating the national
team twice as well as a Rugby Canada All Stars team.

MĀORI ARCHBISHOP
HOSTS WORSHIP PROGRAMME: WHAKAMOEMITI
Eminent Māori leader and Anglican
minister, the Right Reverend Whakahuihui Vercoe was elected
Primate of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and
Polynesia earlier this month.
Archbishop Vercoe, aged 75, succeeds
the Right Reverend John Paterson, Bishop of Auckland, who has
been Primate for the past seven years.
A man of many talents, Archbishop Vercoe
made his television debut on Māori Television with WHAKAMOEMITI
(WORSHIP), a weekly half hour programme which looks
at Māori spirituality.
Although fronting his own television show
was a new direction for Archbishop Vercoe (Ngai Tai, Tūhoe,
Te Arawa), it’s not a departure from his pastoral career.
Archbishop Vercoe has been head of Te Pihopatanga o Aotearoa
(the Māori Anglican Church) since 1981 and is the first
Archbishop from that body to become Primate.
His election took place at the Church's
General Synod / Te Hinota Whanui in Rotorua, and marks an historic
step in Anglican commitment to bicultural partnership under
the Treaty of Waitangi.
Archbishop Vercoe was ordained a priest
in 1952. His chaplaincy work included posts in Malaya and South
Vietnam as well as Christchurch, Rotorua, Ruatoki and Te Kaha.
In 1981 he was ordained Archbishop of Aotearoa and now presides
over five synods and one Runanganui in New Zealand.
He says WHAKAMOEMITI is
timely for Māori today as spirituality has always been
part of their culture. 98% of Māori polled in the 2001
New Zealand census said their religious affiliation was Christian,
the main denominations being Anglican, Catholic and Ratana
(Statistics NZ 2001 Census Snapshot 4).
Join Archbishop Vercoe on WHAKAMOEMITI,
Sundays at 3.00 pm on Māori Television.
