  • it doesn't matter who performs the Haka and it doesn't matter how they perform it, as long as they know the meaning and purpose of the Haka and show respect for it and its origins

  • Isn't sharing one's culture and having it embraced a good thing? That's what America has always been about. Saying only the Maori should do the Haka is like saying only Cubans should dance Salsa.

  • @Tiffanie0315 there's a guide line for every culture and what it brings so before you bring all that crap about cultural heritage remember that there is a line that you crossed if your going to far

  • I want to clear something up. The Ka Mate predates the All Blacks. People here seem to think it came into existence specifically for the All Blacks. That's the case with Kapa O Pango, but not Ka Mate. The Ka Mate is actually a celebration of life and there's nothing wrong with other teams doing it. BYU doing the Kapa O Pango would be somewhat strange, since it mentions the warriors in black and silver fern.

  • its funny because they're Mormons...and they're doing a Polynesian war dance to their deities...idiots

  • @AVBlocker Really? WTF. Rugby started by the British and brought to the island where the Haka was already being practiced by the Maori native. So, a sport started by white Europeans is the only thing allowed to the Haka? Sounds sooooooo much different than American Football to me. Again, the ignorance of All Black fans is astounding.

  • Haka is universal, is the power of the male heart united in strenght, coordination and a common goal. I like that people is watching to old traditions: we are warriors and we need warrior food---->Haka is a warrior food :)

  • I always knew Mormons were a little strange....just kidding. I would sever a finger to be this cool.

  • THIS IS A GREAK HAKA. So funny! w w w. youtube. com / watch ? v=l5H4CTiepd8

  • @Moko8298 I not represents NZ

  • @AnaheimAngels24 The reason All Black do the Haka because they represents NZ
