Scenarios about 'all blacks'
The All Blacks are New Zealand's national rugby union team, recognized globally for their dominance in the sport since their formation in 1903. Named for their distinctive all-black uniform, they perform the haka (a traditional Māori challenge) before matches and have maintained one of the highest win rates in international sports.
