Wales v New Zealand 2008, Haka & Response

[goblinking169]

the only response wales needs to worry about is actually beating the mighty ALL BLACKS!!!

[yovingich]

ahahahaha 'WAALES WAAALES WAAALES'ahahah ALL BLACKS FOR LIFE!!! THE GREATS AND AND WILL BE

[Lee77]

i think wales shud hav well put celtic war paint on 4 this

[sianwestcott]

agreed. bring out the culture :)

[Lee77]

yeah and did one of there war dances it prob wud hav well shit up the All Blacks

[Lee77]

sian i think they shudnt do the haka anyway coz last time i knew it was a greeting

[sianwestcott]

either way its an awesome start to a game, gets everyone riled up! i love it! even the banter and unfriendly banter on here. i love it haha

[RampinAchilles]

@Lee77. the haka can be used by greeting people, in a way. but when done by the AB's or any other rugby team in NZ, its us putting forward a challenge, saying we respect you and by accepting the challenge you respect us. when we do haka we are not disrespecting anyone. and what the welsh rugby team did was awesome. they accepted the challenge by standing their ground which was phat!!! maaad respect for those boys!

[goblinking169]

i reckon bro dat would be awesome

[cocacola1]

It's cachu, not cacha - and no were not!

[macphersonleedsunite]

Wales = (Pricks) Shit !

assholes. Cymru = ( Bigiadau ) Cacha! assholes.

[tractoral]

fuck you,you prick

[sianwestcott]

Look mate. Either you stop wasting your time looking at 'Pathetic' videos like this or piss off, and learn the language before you try and insult us in it.

[TEARAWA09]

haka is traditional. in nz rugby is our passion and religion and therefore carries our tradition of the wardance aka the haka b4 we commence in war (rugby) on the battlefield (rugby pitch). as a maori i agree that th haka should be left out of other sports. but still remains a fine tradition since maori found aotearoa (nz)

[stephenz1]

If you think the all blacks over do the haka then your lucky you dont live in nz now! every time someone does anything worth recognising they do a haka for them, its well over done

[Tupitopi]

u aint no kiwi, jus keep thinkng u r ok. Suk dik. ur welsh and always will be

[sianwestcott]

Lloegr = (N) cachu!

gutting.

[waspsfan93]

I personally think the whole thing is ridiculous. The haka is a New Zealand tradition...instead, Wales, or indeed any other team should just accept it, and concentrate on winning a game of rugby, which is what its all about...get on with the game, especially if Wales cant live up to their threat.

[beaujones1]

Why should they? The whole point of the Haka is to intimidate their opponents, so shouldn't the New Zealanders just get on with it too?

Its hardly a tradition, they don't do it with any other sport. Its purely to intimidate, yes there is some tradition but not much. Wales rattled the All Blacks by standing up to them. They should just drop the haka (which would be a terrible thing) if their going to get rattled by people doing stuff (or in this case, nothing) back to them.

[MrsToeava]

actually every NZ international team does a Haka before a game!!! How isn't the Haka traditional? Do you even know the meaning of the Haka?

[beaujones1]

The only other national team that performs the Haka in the Rugby League team. The "Tall Blacks" may also do it but I have never seen them play.

The NZ football team doesn't do it, neither does the cricket team.

To answer your final question, yes it meant to be a dance and dance of the Maori tribe and NOT a dance that is purely a war dance which is the popular misconseption.

And it isn't really a tradition because its there to intimidate the opposition and it isn't used for every sport.

[wzmcclt610]

Actually,no offence,butNZ basketball team do the HaKa dance too

[xEmma0x]

Commooonn wales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thar777]

Silly welsh boozos! same silly antics and disrespect and each time got their fetid welsh arses Kicked!

Yeah, you lost by 20 points and played well!

Keep dreaming u welsh boozos at this rate you may draw a test next century!

[welshbigwilli]

Or win another grand slam

[theredeagle84]

The skinny welsh boys looked terrified, the Welsh response was pure fear factor. The All Blacks crushed them as usual.

[TheMorganDavies]

=O shit son!!!

look how many views =O

[thar777]

silly Welsh antics - u disrespect the HAKA n u get ur arse kicked!

See what happened to the Welsh? 20 point loss!

[Ganjaman1302]

how did we disrespect the haka? the haka is a challenge, if you call responding to your challenge disrespectful, then dont lay out a challange infront of us to start with! idiot.. and all we did was stand there silently, thats hardly disrespectful anyway!

[omegariki]

Wales didnt respond to the haka, they just stood around holding hands. responding to the haka depends on what you bring in the next 80minutes.

[spragg101]

You are talking out your ass, im a kiwi and it as great to see other teams having new ways of responding to the haka, no one is disrespecting anyone

[MrBlonde345]

@spragg101 well said, it's incredibly frustrating to see how many ignorant fucks there are posting anti-welsh comments

[sianwestcott]

If your english, i wouldnt say a word !lmao!, who got slaughterd by the south africans hahahaha

If you actually watched the game, we didnt disprespect it in anyway, its called a response, not an attack. Yeah wales actually played well.

Taxi for England?

Roll on next week i say, england v all blaks. should be lush.

[pant1979]

It was lush, England got stuffed! Meanwhile, Wales pulled off a good win against the Aussies. Check out that first try at 4 mins, a classic!

[toOpS02]
