Next speech is about Japan & New Zealand. Our group decided to research about sports. In Japan, I think, soccer and baseball are major sports. According to my research, rugby, cricket, golf, swimming, tennis are popular sports in New Zealand. These are not so popular in Japan. And also, bungee jumping was first established in New Zealand, and more over, the first person who climbed Mt. Everest was New Zealander, Edmund Hillary. He appears on the current five-dollar note.
Today, I’m going tell you about “Rugby”. New Zealander loves it very much. I have been to New Zealand and I felt it so strong!! Rugby is the national sport. New Zealand’s international rugby team is called “All Blacks” because of their black uniform. All Blacks is very strong team and famous for their performing, haka, before the game. Haka means action song and war dance in Maori language. To arouse the morale, the players dance it.
