Airport staff welcome home triumphant All Blacks with haka on tarmac <br /> <br />The World Cup-winning All Blacks have been welcomed home with a haka from airport staff in Auckland. <br /> <br />Arriving in heavy rain on a black Air New Zealand jet this morning, the team was treated to a rendition of the Maori war dance by workers wearing hi-vis on the runway. <br /> <br />A further 4000 black-clad supporters were waiting inside the terminal for the nation’s beloved rugby heroes. <br /> <br />Skipper Richie McCaw with the William Webb Ellis trophy in Auckland today.
