Ko te hanga o te tohu he mea whakaaweawe i te rau pātītī, he huānga noa iho ki ia kaitākaro, ā, i hangaia e Strategy Creative o Aotearoa i te taha o ngā uniana e rua. I hangaia mai i ngā rau takitahi e rua, ko tētahi e tohu ana i Awherika ki te Tonga, ko tētahi e tohu ana i Aotearoa.
Ka tāia tahitia ngā mata e ngā autō huna. Kua tino mīhini ia mata mai i te konumohe mārō, ā, he mahi toi mai i ngā kaiwaiata o Awherika ki te Tonga me Aotearoa.
Ko te mata o Awherika ki te Tonga e whakaatu ana i ngā mahi toi a Bonolo Chepape, ā, ko tana mahi e tūhura ana i te ariā e kore e tutuki te nui anake. Mā ngā tauira apa i whakaawetia e te hapori, te ahurea me te wheako tiritiri, ka whakanuia e ana mahi toi te tini o ngā tāngata e hanga ana i te tino pai o te tākaro i Awherika ki te Tonga.
The New Zealand blade carries artwork by Kereama Taepa, inspired by the Māori creation story of Tāne and Whiro – two brothers whose rivalry sees them pursuing the same goal by different paths. His work reflects the tension, respect and connection that sit at the heart of great rivalries.
Ka haere tonu te pūtake o te tohu i te kaupapa o ngā haurua e rua e hanga ana i te katoa nui ake, i te mea i hangaia ki ngā kōhatu motuhake e rua: ko te pakohe pango nō Aotearoa o Aotearoa, me te kākāriki kākāriki mai i Awherika ki te Tonga.
Ka kitea te tohu e te iwi whānui mō te wā tuatahi i te Rātapu ina tūtaki ngā Springboks ki te All Blacks i te whakamātautau tuatahi i Ellis Park i Johannesburg.
