factors scientists are doing what they

know where you live around the globe but
if you're watching this find a way in
your lifetime to become snorkel scuba
with these fish unbelievable what a
treat see neow that wasn't so bad was it
all right well made it out with all my
fingers and toes we're going to count
that as a
win later we head to Perth where we
finally team up with how ridiculous but
first it's time to play some rugby with
the one and only All
Blacks what's your excitement level
right now Nazi well I'm pretty excited
other than the fact that I know nothing
about this sport or how to play it so
we're about to
learn rugby is by far the most popular
sport in New Zealand and everyone grows
up watching the All Blacks and the black
ferns both have a winning percentage of
over
75% so after some fun in New Zealand we
headed to the pitch to play some rugby
with the All Blacks
[Music]
we have the honor of hanging out with
some of the All Blacks and black ferns
today I will be very honest with you
guys we know very little about rugby I
feel like I got lost and ended up in an
All Black's Jersey there's a lot that we
have to learn with the short amount of
time that we have today teach us all you
can and make us rugby experts what's up
the training session we got a passing Jo
sit up we brought some good old
americanos guys making me feel like I'm
I got excited there I thought there were
coffee see these rugby balls and you got
your any foul balls knock those cones
[Music]
over P Andra slow

much better than you here's what I'm
learning I think American football's
just harder so we switch now and that
will tell us so if we win here then
American football is just harder harder
hard swi over here now that you just
waxed my cheeks in the first competition
can you show me your ways of how I'm
supposed to throw this ball sure the way
we pass in rugby is one hand underneath
and one hand on top and you kind of pull
the chain so you pull the ball towards
you okay pulling the
chain all right you ready to have a go
what do I say do I say anything you can
make it whatever you want all right come
on
TT yeah baby what an easy game
yeah you're born to do this you were
born to be an
all I think I was meant to be a rugby
player yeah I think you might have be in
the middle of the game we get a ball
pass to us okay nothing's happening we
can get three points if you're not about
to get tackled you go for it you can go
for
it that's what we'll do now P will pass
it to you and I'll come put press on you

Blacks was absolutely incredible we
learned all about different types of
plays that make up the game of rugby wow
I felt Unstoppable right
there closed out our time in the field
by experiencing something the All Blacks
are known for all around the
world the haka
[Music]
the Haka is a traditional malerie dance
from New Zealand often performed to
express a community strength and unity
it's famously performed by the All
Blacks and black ferns before their
matches as a challenge to intimidate
their opponents each team has a specific
haa that is unique to them and we were
lucky enough to have Tiki teach us the
world famous All Blacks haka
that was fun I like
that ladies and gentlemen buckle up for
what you're about to see Kobe and I were
flying in a helicopter over this River
and we saw these jet boats and we said
