Last night, veteran hooker Dane Coles led the haka for the first time in his 75th test match for the All Blacks.

With Aaron Smith not selected in the matchday 23 and TJ Perenara unavailable for the squad after his recent stint in Japan, it was the 34-year-old who led Ka Mate in the All Blacks opening test of the year.

The All Blacks made Coles' milestone evening one to remember, going on to beat Tonga 102-0 at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland.
