Kiwisport | Ki-O-Rahi | Full Game

LI: To Apply our learning in kiwi sport

This week for kiwi sport, we applied our learning. We had to go through the Ki-O-Rahi game for our last week and use the information about Ki-O-rahi that we already know, and apply it into the game for us to play.

Today, I started off as Kaitiaki. Kaitiaki's role is to stand in pawhero to protect the tupu from the taniwha. The game starts off with the kicker. The kicker had to stand in te marama and kick the Ki into pawhero, and the kaitiaki has to attempt to catch it. If it roles, drops or the kaitiaki miss the catch then they have to hand the ball over to the taniwha team.

The Second Role I played was Taniwha. The Taniwha team's objective is to throw the ki at the tupu while standing in Te Roto. If the ball rolls or is thrown out of Te Roto and Kioma team possesses the ball then Taniwha team has to try and rip 1 or 2 tags.

Then I played as Kioma again. Kioma's goal is to run around in Te Ao and touch as many po as possible with the ki and go through te roto to touchdown in pawhero. Kioma team is not aloud in te roto unless they are going to touchdown. If 1 tag is ripped from either teams then they have to pass the ball over to another member in their team. If 2 tags are ripped from either teams then its a handover and the other team gets the ball.

What we need to do better next time is working as a team and communicating with eachother. We failed at working as a team so we need to work as a team and not to try and become the best player in the team. Its better to be the worst player in the winning team then the best player in the losing team.
