The All Blacks look likely to have the majority of the Japanese crowd behind them for tomorrow night's Bledisloe Cup showdown with the Wallabies in Tokyo.
 
The Japanese demonstrated their support for the team with their own take on the All Black’s haka.
 
Some drew inspiration from their own samurai warriors, while others seemed to have misinterpreted the traditional Maori war dance.
 
The judges awarded Gamushara Cheerleading Company the title of 16th member of the All Blacks.
 
As well as a signed jersey, the group also get a trip to watch a Bledisloe match next season.
