Haka Face-Off Wales vs New Zealand November 2008

[AlexChanNZ]

All Blacks laid down the challenge. Wales picked it up and said 'Challenge Accepted'. I can't see the problem here.

[SuperJourneyer]

What a massive stadium!

[allonewordy]

Any talk about "respect" and/or "who won" is made by a person who completely misses the point. I've never been witness to the Kama te, but I've been in that stadium, and the atmosphere was incredible. Just watching this video sends chills up my spine. The point isn't respect, or results, it's just pure ADRENALINE. The haka/sipi tau etc. is there so EVERYONE can get that little bit more fired up. And it works...so well.

[MaoriMeanMean]

Im a Maori myself but man wales that was brutal haha, any team that can stare down the all blacks after just getting told your gunna die pretty much by haka haha, it takes courage good work wales. now on a cheeky note "who won" ;) hehe

[raachxx]

@tematua040580 shut up dont be so arrogant.. not the kiwi way.

[MrChunkerz]

And for staring a team out is a sign of courage, besides the haka is outdated'

[MrChunkerz]

I laugh at assholes who slag off Wales when you clearly have no clue, Wales are a successful team and we've beaten some of the best in the world now shut the fuck up

[reg1naldsm1th]

And...............

[MegaSlayerr]

is frozen to the spot a responce lol i seen more of a responce from the crowd lol the irish had the best responce imo

[cabster21]

Both countries are brilliant in my mind. And what a match!

[WarrenWhanau]

the northerners must think the haka means we want 2 fight, if we wanted to do that we wouldve done it and waste them at that to lol

[garyleokelly]

mad to think we play them in 2 weeks again, can we beat this time??? dont think so but wel all enjoy the game regardless, we can beat all the rest of our teams though! , come on wales

[antheman47]

DUDE!!!! totally fucken agree with you. i think that was the only highlight of the welsh team, standing up to ze Allblacks. As a Die fan of the All blacks and the rest of the Polynesian rugby teams i find it disrespectful when these Northern geckos do this type of shit! i would have gave them props if they won,

[davz1992]

i was at opposite end of the pitch to you :)

awesome atmosphere

[saintandrews84]

Best response to a haka ! love it

[crowder211]

Come on wales , looking good boys

. And i m cornish.

[barbedquill]

Ha Ha - I wondered how long before the neanderthals surfaced.

1. Disrepectful to whom exactly?

2. We were going to get battered anyway. You are the best team in the world despite having some of the most moronic fans

[maoribattalion]

i doubt joee is a kiwi as most i know are very stoked on the welsh response.

The 'welsh stand off' outshone the 'sheepish amble'(check folau), that the ozzies performed recently, and personally a long overdue reply.

Hopefully more countries will step up and take advantage of this precious opportunity for cultural expression and masculine theatrics.

Brilliant stuff, thanks for sharing such an awesome moment.

KIA KAHA WALES

[barbedquill]

...and the game made the IRB Player of the Year award a complete joke. While Shane produced a couple of brief moments of magic McCaw was simply on a different planet for the whole game. What we wouldn't give for someone half as good as him - might get some decent ball out to Shane then..

[joee315]

1. Nonu (Read the article on Skysports website)

2. True hehe! (And its nice to admit that you think england are the best team in the world! I never said i was a kiwi!! ;))

[jason21jburg]

england give them 18 months they could be good again but wales for grandslam again always watch out for france though

[joee315]

Disrespectful!!!! and what did it amount to? Getting Battered!!!

[jason21jburg]

how did england get on in te autumn internationals

[C0NR4D3]

Great piece of action! I support wales and that just shows how f****** great they really are!
