@AdamWest4life Dude, that war cry practically translates to 'I'm gunna rip out your small intestine and strangle you with it'. Tana Umaga is by FAR, in my opinion, the better leader.
And on another note, as a proud Kiwi of Maori heritage, I find it offensive that you can't differentiate the between a Haka (A traditional Maori war dance), a Cibi (A Fijian war dance), a Siva Tau (the Samoan equivalent) and the Sipi Tau (Tonga's Kailao or war dance). So both teams never do the Haka, but in tonight's World Cup opening match, both the Haka and the Sipi Tau will be performed. Learn the difference please!
@Sundance540 May I just ask what qualifies you to be the voice of many on this topic? If other rugby teams and nations actually had a problem with teams performing something, surely this 'atrocity' that you seem to believe it is, would be well over by now. But the fact remains, the crowd, the players and the opposing team love it. The haka represents their Maori culture and heritage, and is therefore something that they have every right to do and be proud of.
@Sundance540 Im sorry, perhaps my first comment was a little too hot headed. I disagree with your viewpoint but i would like to know more about why you feel this way. Do you have any other points to back up that the rest of the rugby world is tiring of the Haka? And why do you feel it's an unfair advantage?
Yeah righto mate. Your entitled to your opinion but I'm entitled to say you are an idiot. The Haka is something the entire Rugby world respects and admires because of how awesome it is. The time they 'do away with the Haka' will never and should never come...
@apoiner You are certainly entitled to your opinion but as you are obviously retarded its not really worth much. The entire rugby world doesnt respect it because its awesome. The northern hemisphere teams endure it out of tradition but the novelty is wearing off. And it will be changed in future, or perhaps every team should get a minute to do something ? Perhaps france in the world cup should have a minute to shout at NZ and make threatening gestures ?
I like it when Kapa o Pango is done. To be completely honest, I think that Ka Mate has lost it's touch. Some opposing players actually look like they're about to shit themselves when they see Kapa o Pango whereas Ka Mate is seen by a lot of other opposing players as just a thing the AB's do before a match and can't wait to get it over and done with.
Bout time the Haka was done away with in Rugby. Either that or every team has a few minutes to do whatever they want, making threatening gestures, shouting, makin faces or whatever. To allow one team to do this kind thing and force the opposition to stand and watch it is a bit stupid. All well and good when both teams do the haka but when facing a team that doesnt it shouldnt be allowed.
@Sundance540 But they aren't the only team, all of the Pacific Island Nations do it with pride. You say that is should be allowed when both teams do the Haka yet you contradict yourself by saying "To allow one team to do this kind thing".
@taweraster Its weird, you obviously read my comment yet you didnt understand one bit of it. You must be new to rugby so I'll explain. Ya see theres other teams from other places that do not do the Haka. And when they play a team that does they are forced by protocol to stand there while the other team makes threatening gestures and tries to intimidate them. Its ok when both teams do the Haka, but not all teams do it, there are more than just pacific island nations in the world of rugby.
@Sundance540 Oh my apologies, a good fix would be too have an IRB vote on the subject, every international team registered with the IRB gets to say whether they want the haka performed against them. Those who say no can change there mind whenever they please.
@taweraster Vote would be good. I can see a lot teams that might vote against it. Its not that I dont respect it or anything its just that it is an advantage to the team performing it. Its a chance to get riled up, to intimidate. I think I remember some team years ago trying to or maybe even stopping the all black from performing it.
@Sundance540 Yeah that was Wales, the All Blacks performed it in the Changing Rooms and even Welsh fans were angry at the WRU. I'm not new to Rugby by the way, I was chatting with Jonah Lomu on the Viaduct this morning. I'm actually writing for Ultimaterugby.webs com on the Welsh Rugby campaign.
Umaga looking like the predator...i remember the goosebumps watching for the first time ...it started with the guy with a baritone voice singing the anthem.
hawaii is full of samoans, the samoans do a haka in rugby, same as new zealand, and alot of the new zealanders aren't maori themselves nowadays, but we dont fall on them like a ton of bricks. just saying
Ok I play rugby now that I am in college and I have fallen in love with the sport. But that said why does American football have to be for faggs? It's a game that's just as physical as rugby its just different. The pads are neccessary. We hit differently. We put our heads across the ball carriers body in football so we need the helmet and shoulder pads. We also hit people no matter where they are on the field, at anytime so there are a lot of times u can be hit completely unawares so if u

@toknchar I used to watch this when I was around 16 and played rugby myself and I felt deepest admiration for Tana Umaga. Now, watching it again after a while, I cannot help but being downright SCARED! He's the man...
@amziadi i know!! intimidation in its finest form right there... it's barely understandable why so many teams took offense at this. it's like... ka mate isn't exactly a hug before a match either. i mean they're playing rugby for fucksake and they get offended at gestures / traditional motivational techniques?? harden up lads.
The "Kapa O Pango" haka was used by the University of Hawaii Warriors in 2006, before they created their own war dance, the "Haʻa", in the Hawaiian language with original movements.
I absolutely shit you not when Tana goes nuts and starts scratching his chest my entire body does something i can't explain....i watch this before i go to the gym....unreal level of passion, who says men can't move mountains :-)?
didnt people try to ban this, serously people need to stop being soft and realise rugby is a tough sport unlike football. and to be honest the only reason why they dont want other sportsmen apart from rugby doing it cos they wouldnt be able to do it properly and would make tards out of themselves considering its a war dance, i barely call football war considering all they do is fall over and pretend they are hurt.
The All Blacks were going to reveal the new haka against the British & Irish Lions earlier in the year. But thought it more appropriate to do it against the traditional foe the Springboks! I don't know if South Africans are honoured by this gesture, or whether they consider it as trivial.
man you fellas are crazy Tana is wack leading this...i love the bro but hes screaming ...Piri or Jose lead this the best.But i love Tana Umaga heaps of mana that fella.
I disagree with YouJarrad. Taine Randall led the Haka like you would imagine a 10 year old girl would lead a Haka. Tana Umanga is awesome. So is Piri Weepu. And thats only because they go mental. The more mental they go the better. They should brings knives. And thats my two cents.

Dont ya just love the expresion on the face of the oposition when its finished? " We had or work cut out for us to start with , but now where fucked".
Is it just me or do any other kiwis out there reckon that American Footballers stealing the haka is totally disrespectful seeing as the cant even pronounce it properly -.-
@Bullshifta Yes! Not only are they stealing our hakas. They're getting all the facts about it mixed up saying its hawiian and stupid shit like that. And the worst thing is they suck shit at it!!!
@Outlawzand1 What most people are unaware of is these teams have a high number of pan-polynesian residents, other than Maori. Others have had polynesian players in their teams and started the tradition, which was adopted and carried on. Some of these college football teams also have New Zealand coaches, that use the Haka.
@DerkaDerka66 Could be refering to the Hawaiian Football team, they used the Haka. They used the Maori Haka to identify with their Polynesian ancestry. It inspired them to create their own Haka based on their Hawaiian roots.
@Bullshifta i'm welsh and i find that offensive, the haka is part of NZ culture, to me the haka is intimidating and something quite beautiful it's not something for other cultures to use without any understanding of it's importance, we can repesct and admire it but thats as far as it should go, bloody americans
@Bullshifta I watch both games and love them both. I can see your point to a certain extent. The main team in American Football that performs such a dance is the Hawaii Warriors College Football Team, who perform a variant called the Ha'a before kickoff. To me, performing the Ha'a is fine, since it is a Hawaiian thing. However, I have also seen them perform the Haka, which I agree, isn't on, since it is a Maori tradition.
It just depends on your perception of historical and cultural borders.
@TiN0350 If you're not even kiwi then what the fuck would you know? It is maori war dance that was newly made to represent the multitude of cultures that take home in new zealand. The only thing disrespectful here is you.

Man this is epic, always a pretty passionate rivalry between NZ and SA..Just wondering guys, what has a greater tradition and significance, the rivalry between the Wallabies versus NZ or NZ versus the Springboks?? from your own perspective
@Niallersz Absolutely has to be the rivalry between us and the Boks, the Wallabies couldn't play until the 80's, lol. It's a much physically tougher, more staunch tradition between us and the Boks, even with the playing drought that occurred during the apartheid years, it still comes down to us and them for me. To win the Bledisloe is great, but to beat South Africa is better!
Far out, doesn't matter how many times I've seen that first performance, I still LOVE it. I remember everyone going crazy over this! I'm so glad that the ABs have their own haka, and one that is actually appropriate to the context in which it is being performed. I have grown up loving seeing Te Rauparaha's haka, but this one, like NZ Maori's haka, is MEAN!
Love the Haka Full stop but THIS.. is by far my favourite version. Tana Umaga is the quintessential leader of the haka in my eyes...Go Kiwi's Go the AB's...
What's cool about that is that it's not even supposed to be intimidating. Its a motion to "revitatalize the vitals" by pulling the energy across the body. the whole dance is soo symbolic
Yeah, I know! I watched another video explaining it... it's all pretty interesting. It's more of a ceremonial dance than a war dance, and it's really powerful when you read the translated words. :)
think the abs thought the kapa o pango was getting a bit to much commercial with everyone referring it to the "throat slitting haka" when its suppose to be like spreading power through theur internal organs or something.
I personally love the Haka, whichever form it takes. I wasn't offended by the throat slitting gesture, I sadly these days get a little disappointed when the All Blacks do the "Ka Mate" Haka which I've been waching for years.

players are obese.

@Outlawzand1 What most people are unaware of is these teams have a high number of pan-polynesian residents, other than Maori. Others have had polynesian players in their teams and started the tradition, which was adopted and carried on. Some of these college football teams also have New Zealand coaches, that use the Haka.

@Bullshifta where did you see american footballers performing a haka?
DerkaDerka66 7 months ago
@DerkaDerka66 Could be refering to the Hawaiian Football team, they used the Haka. They used the Maori Haka to identify with their Polynesian ancestry. It inspired them to create their own Haka based on their Hawaiian roots.

@Bullshifta i'm welsh and i find that offensive, the haka is part of NZ culture, to me the haka is intimidating and something quite beautiful it's not something for other cultures to use without any understanding of it's importance, we can repesct and admire it but thats as far as it should go, bloody americans

@Bullshifta no one else except us kiwis should be allowed to perform any of the Haka.... Our culture!! Agreed Bullshitta,

@Bullshifta hard,they use it 2 show off. They have no idea or the meaning of doing a haka
and what it represents. just like all their other sports its all about hype.

@Bullshifta I watch both games and love them both. I can see your point to a certain extent. The main team in American Football that performs such a dance is the Hawaii Warriors College Football Team, who perform a variant called the Ha'a before kickoff. To me, performing the Ha'a is fine, since it is a Hawaiian thing. However, I have also seen them perform the Haka, which I agree, isn't on, since it is a Maori tradition.
It just depends on your perception of historical and cultural borders.

Man this is epic, always a pretty passionate rivalry between NZ and SA..Just wondering guys, what has a greater tradition and significance, the rivalry between the Wallabies versus NZ or NZ versus the Springboks?? from your own perspective
Niallersz 1 year ago
@Niallersz Absolutely has to be the rivalry between us and the Boks, the Wallabies couldn't play until the 80's, lol. It's a much physically tougher, more staunch tradition between us and the Boks, even with the playing drought that occurred during the apartheid years, it still comes down to us and them for me. To win the Bledisloe is great, but to beat South Africa is better!

Far out, doesn't matter how many times I've seen that first performance, I still LOVE it. I remember everyone going crazy over this! I'm so glad that the ABs have their own haka, and one that is actually appropriate to the context in which it is being performed. I have grown up loving seeing Te Rauparaha's haka, but this one, like NZ Maori's haka, is MEAN!

takeoverprojekt 2 years ago 3
What's cool about that is that it's not even supposed to be intimidating. Its a motion to "revitatalize the vitals" by pulling the energy across the body. the whole dance is soo symbolic
CDSlik 2 years ago
Yeah, I know! I watched another video explaining it... it's all pretty interesting. It's more of a ceremonial dance than a war dance, and it's really powerful when you read the translated words. :)

think the abs thought the kapa o pango was getting a bit to much commercial with everyone referring it to the "throat slitting haka" when its suppose to be like spreading power through theur internal organs or something.
themaddestfella 2 years ago
I personally love the Haka, whichever form it takes. I wasn't offended by the throat slitting gesture, I sadly these days get a little disappointed when the All Blacks do the "Ka Mate" Haka which I've been waching for years.
