It all starts with a New Zealand-style ‘Haka,’ an emotionally charged ceremony that can be seen in the video below. If you haven’t caught my drift yet, this is a pretty awesome video that is well worth watching.

An incredible display of raw human emotion and joy.

Members of the crowd rush to join him in celebration, as he embraces those who rush in to join him.

It’s an evocative and beautiful moment that showcases the best sports and community have to offer, and you can watch it all unfold in the video below.
