Filmed in the field of Gilfach Goch in Wales, it first shows a closeup of a Māori native, Jo Hutley. It then reveals 14 Welsh amateur rugby players performing Haka, a traditional Māori dance that shows art and movement by using hands, feet, legs, body, voice, tongue, and eyes. The players are dressed in red-striped polo shirts. The music is slow and played on strings, accompanying the rugby players' chant sound. This ident was eventually withdrawn after licensing issues with the music and did not appear in the final montage. It was also one of the only two idents to be withdrawn during its run (the other being Tai-Chi (reflection)). The ident was usually used to introduce sports programming, and occasionally to introduce the weekend news bulletins.
