The 43-year-old reposted the photos to his 17 million followers on Instagram with the caption: “Mahalo to my favorite team in the world Aloha j.”
Mahalo is Hawaiian for “thank you.”
In a second post, Momoa wrote that he was a “huge” All Blacks fan and thanked the team for signing uniforms for him and giving him an experience he won’t forget.
“I’m still smiling, I’m so grateful to have met you all for the autographed jerseys… and great memories,” he wrote.
A well-known fan of the All Blacks, Momoa has strong ties to New Zealand after living in the country for a short period and co-starring with Kiwi actor Temuera Morrison, who played his father in Aquaman.

“It’s one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. I never leave home without it. It always travels with me,” he said.
The Hollywood star is in New Zealand for his new Apple TV+ series Chief of War – starring, writing and executive producing.
