The guy you guys called "Confused" is one of the best wingers of all time (Brian Habana). He was just focused and the springboks have a 100 year rivalry with the all blacks so we have lots of respect for the hakka
Piri's older brother Billy's married to my cousin, he played in the NRL in the 90's...my brother, Billy & myself played played Rugby League for our home town & I sure am glad I played in the same team as those two are 6'5...250 plus pound bookends....lol
The Haka is respected throughout the world. The all blacks have been performing it forever. It can have many meanings and is performed at many special occasions such as weddings, funerals etc. There are different types of Haka for different events. I'm Australian, but I have Māori ancestry, and I adore the Haka and respect it deeply. I'm not having a go at you guys because you didn't know, but I would like to inform you that it is considered disrespectful to interrupt or talk during a Haka. There is a video of the All Blacks explaining the cultural significance of the Haka. Many native cultures have war dances and culturally significant dances for different events, but the All Blacks made the Haka of New Zealand famous around the world. Thank you for learning about this wonderful culture.🙂
This all blacks team was one of THE most dominant sporting teams in the world absolutely unrivalled athleticism and technicality on the rugby field. They were dominant for almost 10 years. In the last 5-7 years many players and coaches have since left and retired all blacks now sit at #3 in the world rankings for rugby union. But in saying that even if we were the worst of the worst New Zealand and Māoris will always represent the culture no matter what. The haka isn’t just about amping up and sending a challenge but also about representing where we come from and who we are as a country. It’s not different to the American pledge of allegiance or a national anthem.
The All Blacks are a fantastic team, always has been. They and the Springboks are the 2 greatest rugby nations in the world. Together with South Africa(The Springboks) they hold a combined total of 7 out of the 10 world cups that have been held, with SA having 4 and NZ having 3.
This is Piri Weepu taking the Haka, he's speaking in Maori, one of the official languages in New Zealand. Ka Mate is a Māori haka composed by Te Rauparaha, the historic leader of the iwi of Ngāti Toa of the North Island of New Zealand during the Musket Wars. The main body of the haka is: Ka mate, ka mate! ka ora! ka ora! Ka mate! ka mate! ka ora! ka ora! Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru Nāna nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te rā Ā, upane! ka upane! Ā, upane, ka upane, whiti te rā! It is death, it is death, it is life, it is life It is death, it is death, it is life, it is life Or do I see a hairy man who brought back the Sun so it can shine on me once more? Then I will put one foot in front of the other- One foot, then the other-until the Sun shines on me! Recently a new one was composed, Kapa o Pango, so now they have a choice which one they do. The haka is a challenge, done before a battle to stir the warriors up and intimidate the enemy. It is also a show of respect and you'll see it done in New Zealand at weddings, at funerals, and a stirring one was done at a boy's school by all the boys when a popular teacher retired. Great reaction guys.
The All Blacks and the team that had the "confused" guy yous referred to are the 2 most dominant teams in rugby, out of all the teams that play, us (New Zealand) and them (South Africa) are the only 2 teams to have ownership of the Rugby World Cup never letting it leave the southern hemisphere. Probably one of, if not, the most biggest rivalries in sports which makes the teams playing always entertaining to watch. Much love to South Africa from NZ
South Africa and New Zealand are the two heavyweights rivals since 1862 South Africa 4 RWC New Zealand 3 Australia 2 England 1 SA respect the Haka not scared.
The guy you claim is “confused” is Bryan Habana, one of the greatest Springbok wingers. He’s faced the haka many times and is focused, not confused!

AB's are one of the greatest teams ever, as a South African, we respect it very much. 💯💯 great video

Thank you so much for this information and translation. I love the Haka and our friends across the ditch. Kia ora.🙂

Piri weepu is the GOAT for the allblacks hakas sometimes as a kid I thought he was just in the squad for the haka😂❤️❤️
77% win rate... Most successful rugby team ever
The All Blacks have some ridiculous win percentage record compared to any other international representive sport. 76% i think.
Win rate of 86%
Ofc's he's saying something in a language.
