Describing Piri Weepu

Ebenezzer Baah

It was windy as I looked out from the stadium to see Piri Weepu...
As he was leading the Haka with concentration, anger and shouting.

Did you know Piri Weepu’s full name is Piri Awahou Tihou Weepu?
Have you discovered that Mr Weepu has scored 4 tries in his professional career? He has played for the Hurricanes, the Wellington Lions and the almighty All blacks.

Mr Weepu was born on the 7th of September 1983 and he weighs 97kgs. He is 1.78cm tall. Piri is a good player and a tough warrior. He runs like a cheetah and tackles like a bulldozer. Did you also know that Piri is that good at passing he made it in to the All Blacks, even after breaking his leg?

He is fit and brave man when he leads the haka. He’s a good role model and he’s a spectacular ambassador. When Mr Weepu played for the Hurricanes he had evaded and fended off the the opposition as he made his way to the try line.

What made really Piri Weepu so special to me was... that when I knew Piri was leading the haka and representing our country.
