Can anyone explain me why there is a man coming with a boy on the field? I heared about this motivation before a game but I thought it is an Australien performance.

In fact the boy has nothing to do with the haka.

I don't know if it is practiced elsewhere in France, but sometimes before the start of a friendly match, there is often a sick kid who represents an non-profit organization that provides assistance for him who shoots on the ball to fictitiously start the match in order to make some "advertising" for the organization.

Here in fact he should have shoot the ball before the haka, but the Pacific Highlanders have preferred to do the haka before the fictitiously kick-off so that is why it is a bit confusing and we see both at the same time.

the boy was supposed to give the fictionnal kickoff of the game. But it seems that the Highlanders couldn't wait to perform their war dance. It is said by the commentator, in french.

[fifilafrance]

according to french Rugby regulation, a young boy must be offered to the Gods to redim the World and to challange Hakkas

Most of the time, this tribal religious service is not to be shown: too nasty.
