Ah I remember this really well. Fantastic start. I think a Tongan forward was red-carded in the first few minutes and that was the end of the match. This is what it's all about. Passion and pride. Forget the scoreline. This was a great advert for rugby. Much like the Munster AB game this year.
I'm afraid it may well be going to you Kiwis alright. I'm Irish - we've been playing terribly lately, we'd better do well against France tomorrow or we're sunk!
Again, I'm fairly certain that the Tongan kingdom did not traditionally use a Roman alphabet in the first place, so it's a moot point. But yes, it's a soft 'c' as in 'certain'. I'm just glad people haven't referred to it as 'the Tongan haka', as I've heard a few announcers call it, and then refer to 'Ka Mate' as "THE haka".

Hey, who says ridiculo? Debes estar loco, hombre!
Wonderful vid!
By the way, I'm French, so here are some clues to you kiwis on the upcoming RWC here : true, the A-Bs stand tall above every team for now, but I'm just CONVINCED that if they can make it to the final, then they'll win NO MATTER THE OPPOSITION...Be it the best A-Bs of all time!
is there any chance to see a full version of the 'cipi tao' somewhere in the net, looks quite fascinating and i think one doesn't see enough of it on this footage.
I am an England fan and therefore neutral. I just wanted to say that I think that both sides were fantastic and it is a great memory of a great world cup!
The All Blacks may have won the game, no doubt due to the impressive resouces they have available to develop the game & their players, but Tonga won that showdown! All Blacks didn't even see it coming! I love the All Blacks but if it comes down to crunch I always root for my island brothers!!
For all you NZ folks, your allblacks would be nothing without the polynesian players that are and have been playing on your team. If all the little islands had there players from their country allblack would change there name to allblack&blue .lol. Tonga is a very small island with little resources not like you allblacks all spoiled and shit. anyway GO TONGA. Tongan people have the biggest heart for the game! way to show them maoris up in the haka
where do these polynesians learn to play the game? most arrive as preschoolers a la mils, rocokoko, jerry etc. you sound like you have a big heart you fool.
for instance lots of nz pakeha (white) players are world class. better players generally than what england, scotland, ireland etc can muster. you say lomu, i say wilson, you say rocokoko, i say cullen. you say m jones, i say m jones (his dad was pakeha) i love how nz can take players from differnet backgrounds and blend them into a fantastic tight unit of a rugby team.
"I would like to see how good the AB's would be with just NZ(whites) and maoris only, then well see.... "
lets put your genius proposition to the test
woodcock, oliver, hayman, jack, williams, holah, mccaw, thorne, kelleher, carter, hamilton, mauger, smith, gear, macdonald. this team are all white boys except gear and some others with a little maori blood. now you name your victorious tongan team... ha what an idiot you are.
LOL, those are good names but names are just names. And yes, it would be nice to put it to the test. Dont get me wrong this is not a racial thing, its just to prove a point to you NZ fans putting tongan, samoan, fiji rugby teams down and how superior your guys are, well taking polynesian players helps the AB be so elite, thats all. and yes to your last comment,they should have it that way and then you will realize how much more of competition the small island rugby teams would be.
thats all, as far as being an idiot, theres no point to that, if this was put to test you would see how much trouble your precious ABs would have agains the smaller island teams.
tongans, and samoans many of them are born in NZ, but they claim themselves as tongans and samoans first, maoris are the real NZ. Tongans and samoans are born in america, but they still consider being tongans and samoans. Dont get me wrong about my feelings, It doesnt matter what race you are , white, brown, that doesnt make you a great player. My point is that if we were able to have tongan players playing for tonga rugby instead of NZ we would be a greater threat.
that's all fine. just let them learn the game on their own turf and see how well they go. the nz system is superior in every way. that's why players of all ethnic backgrounds excel.
I think learning the game here or there would not really matter. Having the funds to to provide the right equipments and all, and having a great coach and training staff would help alot. NZ of course would be a better place to play since they have alot of resources, but great players are not taught to be great, they are born great! all in all, it was great to debate this with you!! have a good one brotha!!!
I agree with what your're saying in regard to Tongan people having a big heart for the game but you have to remember most of those polynesian players are born in New Zealand and the all blacks have built a reputation as a force to be reckoned with for the past 100 years, long before there were any pacific isalnd players in the team.
Apart from the final, this was one of my favourite memories of the World Cup, Tonga v NZ, fucking awesom. Even though Tonga got defeated pretty heavily, it was so great to witness this.
For all you NZ folks, your allblacks would be nothing without the polynesian players that are and have been playing on your team.

proud to be tonga....... but i love the nz all blacks aye....... this is a good clip thou...... i remmbr this game......... sad one.... but good all in all
That's awesome. I wonder if the All Blacks threw a fit about it after the game, though? (Like they did once when a British player stared them down during the Haka.)
why? the island teams all do a 'haka' whomever they're playing. they also love people staring the haka down its considered a sign of respect to face up to the challenge.

You can teach anyone how to play, but you cant teach them how to be great players.
besides, they can learn the game on their islands also.
"WORLD CUP RUGBY" makes no sense if you have other polynesian players not playing for there country.
