KEY POINTS:
This week is Maori Language Week. The Herald offers five helpful phrases for the All Blacks' Tri-Nations encounter with Australia this weekend:
1. Ki a koe, ko wai ka toa?
Who do you think will win?
2. Ki a koe, he pai ake a Robbie Deans i a Graham Henry?
Do you think Robbie Deans is a better coach than Graham Henry?
3. Ae Marika! E kao! Ko Henry ke te mea pai ake.
Oh yes, far superior. No, Henry's better.
4. Kahore he take o te taupuru o Ahitereiria, engari he pai tonu te papamuri.
Australia have a useless scrum but pretty good backs.
5. Ko te tumanako kia kaua ra a Wayne Barnes hei rewheri mo te kemu o tenei mutunga-wiki.
I hope Wayne Barnes doesn't referee this weekend's match.
