Renee Young so true was so beautiful, this is by far my favorite anthem. Not like my country USA. When they try to make it fancy and forget the words unbelievable.
I agree. And I am from the United States, and well, I am half Mexican, meaning that most of my family comes from Mexico, and my cousins, me, my older brother, my mom, my friends, and my best friend and I were all born and raised here in America. And well, I do like the national anthem of the United States, which is The Star-Spangled Banner. And well, I can completely understand if you don’t want to listen to it, mostly because it’s all in Spanish and I don’t think that you would understand that the national anthem of Mexico, mostly because it is all sung in Spanish. But if you want to listen to another national anthem from another country, we’ll, I highly recommend listen to the national anthem of Mexico. Just a recommendation.
Nick Afoa you need to sing the anthem every time NZ competes, this is the greatest national anthem in the world and ironic how they are playing against South Africa the second greatest anthem. I'm Australian and the only reason why I watch them play is for the 10 mins of harmonious beauty; and I guess they can kick the ball pretty well.
it's so touching it's like u get goose bumps like the feeling of patriotism just screams out when you hear to such a great national anthem I just love to hear it though it's not my country I would rate it in the top5 national anthems
e ihowa atua, o nga iwi matou ra ata whakarangona me aroha noa kia hua ko te pai kia tau to atawhai manaakitia mai aotearoa God of nations! At thy feet in the bonds of love we meet, hear our voices, we entreat, god defend our free land. Guard pacific's triple star, from the shafts of strife and war, make her praises heard afar, god defend new zealand.
I'm an English man and I have to say the NZ national anthem is beautiful the best in the world and this version does it justice, it's the perfect reminder that love still exists in a ever more violent and dangerous world, I'll visit one day and maybe even stay. God defend New Zealand 🖤🖤
oh my god ! what beautiful melody ! the last line made me tear up a little ... tsk all right ! this anthem is going to the top of my favorites list ! ~love from the philippines :-)
I'm a sri lankan living in wellington...i think New Zealand anthem is one of the best anthems in the world.. Not saying other national anthems are bad..i cant sing my own country's anthem without someone's help but i surely knows every word of the New Zealand anthem lol (guess thats not a fact to b ashamed of)
WhY is it not real anthem material? As long as it makes the people feel patriotic, then I don't see an issue. It encompasses their history and has an English verse and Maori verse. What other country recognises the original heritage of their land, through their anthem better than NZ? I wish Australia would take on a similar approach.
I'm a Koori girl and this is my favourite national anthem ever born! It fucking gives me goosebumps every single time! You Maoris have the bestest voices and are hot AF!!!!
By far still the best singing off our national anthem ever ..awesome work Nick Afoa..love it ...also could we not do with a couple of them all blacks right about now 😂..Richie.. Maa..Sam ..ohh the gd old days 😆 🤣
Amazing. i am half Aussie/Kiwi and Congrats NZ you are so far advanced from our bogan culture its not funny. I will always support Australia in sport but as a culture we have a long way to go.
This is my favourite singing of the Kiwi National Anthem. I’m Aussie. I cannot find a worthwhile singing of ours. Please suggest. All other nations, please suggest. This video is always going to be better than USA. Go Kiwi. I love the evening of Warriors Vs Storm. Best.
Blessings B unto Z NZ lads and lassies. I know this anthem up and down. Blessings from Samarqand, on the Silk Road. Please do visit when U R on this side of Z planet....
I'm from the US but I think the NZ national anthem is the best I've ever heard and Nick Afoa sings it beautifully.
Live, a capella and hit every single note. That's how to sing a national anthem.
This is in the top 3 best anthems in the world, respect from Wales.
Martin Evans and absolutely nailed the Maori verse
I'm an Aussie but I can't deny how much I love the NZ national anthem
Thankyou. What a nice comment....
only good thing about being an aussie and watching the Bledislow cup or Tri nations XD
..that and Nick is obviously a very talented singer and sang the shit out of that anthem.
Agreed
@M soccer = land diving
I love him. Discovered him after watching The Lion King in Sydney last night. Beautiful voice and performer.
This is how our anthem should be sung, not trying to be all fancy n stuff! Awesome job Nick Afoa, proud to be Kiwi!
Renee Young so true was so beautiful, this is by far my favorite anthem. Not like my country USA. When they try to make it fancy and forget the words unbelievable.
Renee Young me three😂😂 #ProudToBeMoari
I am indian but the kiwi anthem gives me goosebumps. May God protects Newzealand. ❤️

Beautiful anthem!! Well sung by a humble Pacific Islander. Great job!
2022 and still the best anthem and this is sung to beautifully
I’m from England but all my family on my mothers side are from New Zealand so so sing this amazing anthem as it was my own! ❤️
This is by far the best rendition of the best national anthem in the world. Good to be kiwi.
This is by far the best performance of the best national anthem in my opinion. Im English but love this. Two verses covering what NZ is, outstanding
True that bro
Love seeing the Palangis on the team singing in a Polynesian language
He sings it in such a pure rendition.
I'm Limburger (Dutch), this anthem is so much better than our own anthem. Great performance by Nick!

god defend new zealand.
That’s the most beautiful anthem in the world❤️
I'm a die hard springboks supporter ,But I always shed a tear of pride hearing this anthem.
This felt so powerful and raw especially without the instrumental. Felt like someone declaring their love for their country
Fantastic voice, fabulous hymn... from France 😊
I'm an English man and I have to say the NZ national anthem is beautiful the best in the world and this version does it justice, it's the perfect reminder that love still exists in a ever more violent and dangerous world, I'll visit one day and maybe even stay. God defend New Zealand 🖤🖤
As a candian who lived in NZ i am brought to tears hearing this.

He has such a beautiful voice
Omg what a beautiful anthem!
I'm a Brit and I wish that our national anthem was even a fraction as amazing at the nz anthem. I don't like the English national anthem
Great singing and great to acknowledge God looking over their nation.
Beautifully sung!

NZ top tier national anthem
Brilliant. Westenra is a great singer but her voice is not suited to anthems. This guy's voice is full of power and emotion.
A prayer made Song!
Blessings B unto Z NZ lads and lassies. I know this anthem up and down. Blessings from Samarqand, on the Silk Road. Please do visit when U R on this side of Z planet....
How come the East Stand was empty? Does anyone know? Was it under repair?

The Maori part of the New Zealand anthem is the most beautiful part of the New Zealand anthem
