Actually yeah it might of been the pumping of adrenaline why he forgot the actions cause I know for a fact he knows them so yeah but ohwel it happens...and it isnt two groups its a mix of reps in the group rakaumanga, whangara, iti kahurangi

[kurunapu]

it's a impromtu haka, as you can see they are 2 groups combined

Definitely you shouldn't be performing if you don't know what you're doing, but sometimes its easy to get lost in your movements when you've allowed yourself to be engulfed by the energy of the haka. I'm not saying its a good thing nor is it acceptable, I'm just giving you a bit more of a perspective.
