New Zealand military rugby squad perform haka to pay tribute to UKAF player
The New Zealand military rugby team have performed the haka in a show of support and respect for UKAF rugby player Able Seaman Steffan Rees, who died last week.
They performed in front of the French military team with the number 12 jersey laid before them, AB Rees' shirt number, before their semi-final game in the International Defence Rugby Competition.
Earlier in the day, both the UKAF and Fijian teams observed a minute's silence in AB Rees' memory before their own semi-final match, which Fiji went on to win 41-29.
