HAKA Up Close and Personal 7.26.08

[FawnHeart]

Yeah well, I was in awe of the Haka until I found out it was blarting on about some hairy dude bringing down the sun... It was like finding out that William Wallas's warcry was "You Peed on me granny???? I"ll give ye pee on ya granny!"

I dunno ... it kinda lost some of the magic for me, you know? Gimme Waltzing Matilda any day...at least it isn't fake.

[tsc440]

OO'

i'm brazilian and i don't much know about "Rugby"... Can someone tell me WHAT they are doing and what is the purpose of that? Sorry for my English u.ú

[vbossoni]

@tsc440 É uma tradicional dança Maori, que os guerreiros faziam antes de batalhas. É como um desafio dos All Blacks contra o outro time. Resumindo, é uma tradição Maori e não propriamente do Rugby.

[tsc440]

@vbossoni Ótima explicação! Vlw!

[SuperAlleyesonme]

According to outback folklore

John Williamson use to sing Waltsing Matilda just before he got the bash from his dad.

[yeevee]

kapa o pamga haka is better

[shanksterswamy]

cant any of these moronic camera men shoot the Haka front on as the opposing team sees it?? where are their brain?? or are they too scared to face the haka even from behind the camera?

[YouCouldBeMine89]

amazing.

[shufflerrrrrr]

lol waltzy matilda at the end stuff the wallabies mate all blacks all the way

[vasugreenday]

I LIKE HAKA BY ALL BLACKS

[k9j]

what language are they speaking in? all i could understand was Lupa, which probably means wolf

[patches53]

It's Maori. The native language of the original inhabitants of New Zealand.

The Maori are a very proud race.

[AucklandRulez]

thats lupin not lupa for a start :L

[Daniels797]

GO DA ALLBLACKS U KNOWW...!!!

[calumtodd]

i am doing the haca dance at my school

[Battlesinger]

What the fuck is the Haca.

It's Haka.

[rujakcingur]

i think all all blacks players needs to be a pacific islander, they'll look much more intimidating when they do the haka

[DP324]

not necessarily, look at their massive 2nd rower, hes pretty intimidating

[rujakcingur]

ya i know, i think theyre good also and pretty intimidating, but its about the culture, im a polynesian, so i knw what it means to do the haka, its not just some dance to intimidate the opponent, but it has values, art, spiritual meaning and all, and they look more fierce, just look at piri weepu

[DP324]

i didnt think of it that way, i guess your right, my bad

[Jsouthwell2006]

im from canada and i like that dance lol my ice hockey team should have done it before every game and since the other teams are from canada as well they will be like "wtf?" lol

[centralcoastsoldier]

ali williams.

[RandomGanker]

haha YES ALI!

[haggisman93]

richie mccaw is a psyco :)

[kate128346]

Richie didn't play this match no? He was injured I think.

[hamofied07]

im sure hes talking about ali williams lol

[letibow]

lmaol...hehehe....are u saying he looks scary when he does the haka??...or he goes over board??...

[bomberbassboone]

Great, the Haka. Anyway I wouldn't mess with these guys! It must do someting with the other teams, look at some faces in the different vids.GO ALLBLACKS GO!!!

[fenixoz]

I like the Haka :)

[Bufster]

yeah you still think that after the tri nations finale?

[UNKNOWNPOW]

I have immense respect for the All Blacks, they are an amazing team! Too bad they knocked back Robbie Deans, stupid decision.

[freelynz]

@UNKNOWNPOW Lol Robbie Deans is rubbish. Look what he's done to the Aussies! I'm glad he didn't get picked. Best decision ever.

[Ma0Rii]

@UNKNOWNPOW yeahh in a way i would of liked to see what robbie deans would of done for the all blacks but you gotta give it up for Graham Henry. The All Blacks are goin great and they look like there in Tiptop Shape for the world cup next year.

[jackalan88]

@Ma0Rii Just look at the Wallabies record; that's what Robbie Deans would've done for the All Blacks. Graham Henry is in a league of his own.

[Ma0Rii]

@jackalan88 well there you go.

[11tigers]

@UNKNOWNPOW in hindsight; wasn't such a bad decision. i don't think the wallabies have beaten the AB's since
