Dickie summons his inner warrior for fierce Haka face-off with Karl

New Zealand is set to try and reclaim the Guinness World Record from France for the largest Haka this weekend.

So Today's own resident Kiwi, Richard Wilkins, put on his All Blacks jersey this morning to show them how it's done.

"I've watched the All Blacks a thousand times," Dickie said.

"Well, I'm a dual citizen, but it's a travesty that the French hold the record."

And while it may have been a while since he performed the ceremonial war dance, once Dickie saw Karl Stefanovic wearing his Wallabies jersey, his inner warrior emerged.

Dickie did not miss a beat and while Karl reckons it was the garlic from last night's dinner on his mate's breath which was making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up - we think it was those fierce dance moves which really had his attention.
