Pa wars came to the big city yesterday with more than 800 people turning out for the Iwi of Origin tournament in Auckland.
Wiremu Mato from Sport Waitakere says shifting it from Saturday to Sunday may have helped numbers, as may have been the free continental breakfast.
He says it’s a way for people to celebrate their connectedness and sports like netball and touch rugby are a great way to bring Maori together .
