Hi, it's Florian Gazan.

In a minute, you will know why the team of New Zealand Rugby has not always been the All Blacks.

Oh yeah?

Yeah, because even if today Kiwi, as we call them, the New Zealand players all in black,

they are all black, at the creation of the team in 1892,

they would harbor the color that dominates the flag of New Zealand, the Blue Marine.

But we did not nick them as the All Blue.

No, their nickname was the Originals, the Originals.

Oh yeah?

Yeah, and if they turned to the black, if I can say,

it's thanks to the captain of the team, Thomas Rangiewaya and Lissonne,

the first Maori of the history of New Zealand to become an All Blacks.

Excellent All Blacks, because when they played the pass of the All Black in 1893,

on the occasion of the first tour abroad of the 15 Kiwis,

they won it.

Many believe that this Black Mayo is to carry the burden of their opponents,

it goes a bit with the warrior image of the All Black,

but in fact not at all.

In the Maori, the Black symbolizes wisdom, constancy,

but also life, fecundity,

because for them, the earth is born of obscurity.

As for the nickname All Black, he was born 12 years after this Black Mayo.

Oh yeah?

Yeah, in 1905, during a British tour of the 15 Dutch New Zealanders,

and according to the legend, it would be in fact followed by an imprimary fault.

A journalist from the Daily Mail had seen the Dutch New Zealanders

and found so quickly right that he had written that the 15 Kiwis

all played as backers, who called themselves back in English.

They were all back.

The guy at the first one did not have to know too much in terms of rugby

and by seeing the photo of his black players,

well, he thought the journalist wanted to write Black and not back.

He corrected himself and created, without knowing it,

this term All Black,

which is a brand that has been on the market since 1991

and valued 1,800,000,000 euros.

And this 1,800,000,000 euros, it's not Black.
