I want to see this movie!!!))

[mokopuna1]

I wonder which Maori community he received blessings from to perform this Haka

Either he was missed lead or Coach Gelwix out right LIED....because according to the rightful owners of this Haka he defiantly did not receive their permission

[mokopuna1]

@libermama I just hate it when people LIE !

It's so sad that a person with so much admiration like your Coach has to lie, what message does that send to all these young men who look up to him?

It dosent matter how many Maori you got living around Salt Lake City they can't give Highland permission to do the Ka mate haka

[libermama]

@mokopuna1

There are lots of Maori people who live in and around Salt Lake City. Why would you be so angry about Highland performing the Haka? I think it's a great compliment and shows respect for the wonderful Maori people and their traditions. Don't be a hater. :-) Coach Gelwix has helped make this world a better place because of the positive impact he has had on young men. Love to you!

Actor looks very like Isaac Ross in the Haka

This movie rocks! i like that americans know the meaning of the haka... its good that the highland rugby team are spreading the culture, ths makes us new zealanders proud, its so awesum!!! i like that nz culture is spread to america! there is definately not nething wrong wth the highland rugby team doin the haka! lol...

... Somehow I doubt you saw the film. Or if you did, I doubt you understood anything about it.

I won't waste my time trying to explain something that is so bloody obvious in the film. You want to get my point, watch it and pay attention.

The haka isn't the only war dance in the world. Why is it that they must use this one? Because the All Blacks are so succesful ... its all about rugby. Why aren't they doing the Sipi Tau instead?

[amvdijk]

I never said the dances are only about rugby or sport... I said that they are about respect and honour. Who cares what group uses that?! As long as you keep the traditional values intact! They don't use it to look cool, they use it because they respect it.

Come up with an own wardance? And you dare to preach that people who use the Haka are unrespectful? "Oh, lets make our own cute little wardance." That's how you make it sound. Respect, my ass.

[uniongirl92]

It is traditional to the Maori ... and the Maoris are not a "little group of people", they are a race whose traditions are imbedded in their culture the Fijians do the Cibi, the Tongans have the Sipi Tau. The dances are not because of sport or rugby just like a national anthem isnt. You dont see this team signing the NZ national anthem before the game. If they want to do a war dance maybe they should come up with their own.

[amvdijk]

As you said a traditional war dance. Who decided that tradition is only to be used by one little group of people? You watched the movie you know this team also uses it as a tradition to honour. Don't go spouting nonsense...
