To stand in front of the Haka and not flinch is a sign of courage and respect for your enemy.
Temuera Morrison is maori from New Zealand im Maori and I think he sucks
As an actor
@Stabis Hop come faces us and see what happens. We take this seriously.
@Stabis Hop lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 fell in your fxxkin trap lol
It's like this bro .we well never run down your people culture. We would love your culture your people..that's the way we maori are always
There is a video of school boys doing the Haka at a teachers funeral. The respect is palpable. It’s one of the most respectful, emotional things I’ve ever seen.
That video sent chills down my spine, a truly beautiful display of tradition and culture
And the wedding video as well
The Haka for a dead comrades coming back from Afghanistan...
Yep I've watched that plenty of times and the intensity in it💪
Seen the one when a mouri was brought home after been killed in Afghanistan lt was beautiful made me cry
Hey King Boomer, The Haka is a War Dance that’s aimed to intimidate the enemy and prepare them for an emotional battle, the Haka is also performed for many personal reasons, look up emotional wedding Haka moves Māori bride to tears, I love it, might be one to watch with Queen Boomer 🖤
It's done at weddings funerals kids parties everything now days. But originally it's a challenge to war. Tribe A would do it to Tribe B, if tribe B turn their back it means they submit. But if Tribe B return the Haka it's on sucka. Problem is when the Brits turned up with their guns they would shoot the tribe while they were preforming the Haka. This arrowhead Haka formation was used if you were attacking the enemy on there own soil, and is a very aggressive Haka that means submit and give us everything you got or we will defeat you're warriors and then kill everyone else in your tribe.
A sign of respect
Seen that video of the wedding brilliant and the Haka is always preformed with so much energy and intensity always puts a shiver down my spine .
It's a celebration of life dance
Yes! It is to intimidate and scare the enemy. it is very honorable and ancient! I love Haka SO much! God bless New Zealand and the great Maori people!
Love your reactions. I'm a Maori, you'll find those guys in the red are just paying their respects, they've faced the haka before. Please watch more rugby, you'll love it.
Lord I am Irish n even when we playing against them we LOVE the HAKA... it is so unique and amazing ❤❤❤ its mad respect.... we actually look forward to it....
Your team really should be beside us as 1 or 2nd bests in the world. Your team is better than any country in the world. That's what I think .maori from aotearoa new Zealand
Do you have such indigenous identity of yourself ?
@@humanityissupreme.2575 no i don't
@@marietighe6328 That's the most unlucky thing I guess you may be feeling right ? Btw your neighbour were and are most worst people in the world who loved looting, harassing, colonizing innocent countries, islands, territories and unfortunately Aotearoa was also one among them. They would have adapted to the indigenous language but no they preferred their own to be strong over there. I'm talking about Aotearoa named New Zealand by looeters.
@@deankumeroa1515 sorry for this late reply. Yes we have a good team and yours is legendary. I'm a middle aged woman and pretty much grew up in a rugby loving household.... EVERY TIME we were playing if I wasn't in the room i might be in the kitchen or something and my dad would shout MARIE THEY'RE STARTING THE HAKA. I would come running in. We would all be silent but with big smiles on our faces... I love it....
The most emotional Haka I have seen is by 2/1 Battalion at the funeral of three of their comrades killed in Afghanistan. Their is a video of it posted by the New Zealand Defence Force, it was a number of years ago, but still very emotional.
Watched that and it was emotional 😢
Second that.
It’s a great honour to stand In front of them while they do the dance from their beautiful culture
Rugby players are real men. They don’t need helmets or shoulder pads.
You want to check out Rugby’s hardest tackles.
Have to say I do have alot of respect for ice hockey tho, they take some brutal hits.
And real women too.
Nah mate, all the hardest tackles videos are just full of illegal tackles. Not a good place to actually see the sport
Ice hockey players do take some brutal hits, but they are would they give or receive those hits without all of the protection/helmets they are wearing? I think not.
@@kilgh here for this. Rugby women aren’t slouching.
It isn't only Maoris that learn the HAKA. The HAKA is taught in New Zealand schools, partly as a form of physical education. Not only boys either.
I've seen (and videoed) an all-female, allstar Haka. No "the weaker sex" vibes there.
There are several Hakas and they change them for different occasions. It's stirring and impressively intimidating.
Temuera Morrison was in a famous Movie once were Warriors, he was born in Rotorua awesome actor & a humble man, the haka is usually performed at ceremonies like Waitangi day, Rugby Weddings, funerals . It's a tradition we all do at school, & we also have our family iwi groups. It's something we have been bought up with in our culture. Hoki mai ano.
Excellent film.
New Zealand children learn this in school, it is sometimes performed at weddings and can be very emotional.
I recommend that he watch Jonah Lomu and then his funeral with the Hakas
It brings a tear to my eye when I see it Doug...and I'm English!
While the the traditional All Blacks performance of the Haka is the most famous, many New Zealand institutions have their own, including the armed forces. There are a huge variety of haka performances on RUclips, at schools for sporting events or even the retirement of teachers, funerals (including by soldiers mourning comrades killed in Afghanistan) and weddings. It was traditionally a display of discipline and ferocity, but now is about sharing strong emotion. Originally Maori, It has come to be shared by all New Zealanders regardless of ethnic background.
We haka anywhere an everywhere
@@d.erueti5156 i know, i've seen it, one guy half pissed in the stands at a rugby game making a right dick of himself !!
Boomer.. I would recommend the funeral of the great Jonah Lomu.. Such an amazing tribute to a rugby great.. The service is so emotional especially with the Haka
And of course watch a video of this gentle giant playing rugby.. He was from New Zealand but admired by all
Jonah taken too soon and rugby is saddened by his absence.
I can't watch that without crying, and I'm an English man.
@@slayerrocks2 same. Had to watch it again today after thinking about it
@@mairiconnell6282 so true. He will never be forgotten by the rugby world
True man and gent
England, Australia, New Zealand...any combination between these countries with rugby or cricket is pretty exciting!
And South Africa.
@@kilgh especially South africa 🙌🔥😊 coming from a Kiwi girl right here 😁
@@chevydoitzKiwiVerrer As a proud Englishman and a lover of sport i totally agree South Africa has to go in the equation when playing either Cricket or Rugby, to me facing these Nations is always like a cup final and for facing the Haka sends a shiver down my spine every time watching ..... Respect kiwi girl.
@@kilgh Yeh OK, fair enough, South Africa too. I'd better also mention the other "home nations" of Scotland, Wales and Ireland while I'm at it...Canada too for an honourable mention....but that's as far as I go. 😀
@@jackclements2163 Ha!
The Haka (not Haka dance, just the Haka), is as much a way of passing on a tribe/individuals personal story. It isn't just a Maori tradition. It stretches all across the Pacific. You'll get various rugby teams doing various Hakas to the two opposing team. Now some of those face offs are SCARY!
Bruhhhhhh! What’s a Mauri?!!!
@@BLUES_N8 native islanders of New Zealand
Edited.
They are a fascinating & amazing culture that I highly recommend looking further into. Also please make sure to look into all the other native cultures all around the Pacific. Also helps if I remember it's spelt with an 'o' rather than the 'a' I originally spelt Maori with
Apologies I just have to point out we are Maori not mauri 😊
@@AHPersonel my sincerest apologies for that. Please make sure to take the piss out of me for that
Nah no worries man!! That fact that you're even interested enough in our culture to know about us is enough - nothing wrong with a mistake now and again
Hey from New Zealand love your reaction to our team ❤️
Jonah Lumu a colossas of a player, his highlights will blow your mind
The English rugby team also have a traditional pre match ritual, it's called Morris dancing which is performed before every game when playing against the All Blacks. The All Blacks fall about laughing so much that the English have scored two tries before they know it. Check it out.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆
Cute lol
I would be concerned about playing against a team of Morris dancers!
Righto mate 😂😂😂
If you can find it watch the haka when England played them in the world Cup semi final 2019, England players stood upto it & got as close as they could 💪
England even got fined for it because a couple of players were in the New Zealander's half, there have been other great reactions like the Welsh at the Millenium stadium and the French.
In terms of context of the match. The Maori All Blacks were always going to be favourites to beat Canada.
If you are going to check out some matches one I would suggest is the South Africa vs Japan game from the 2015 world cup especially the last 5 to 10 minutes. A prime example why we all love sport also check out the women's game because they don't mess about as well. However, I would suggest to have a basic understanding of the rules because there are a highly technical reasons why a player will be penalised for an action.
Wales did it first, and better.
Just a shame we lost yet again! So close that day too... 😤
Just rude of the English pathetic
Nowadays it is a tradition to play each countries national anthem before international sporting matches. It wasn’t always the case.
In 1905 the New Zealand rugby team were touring the UK. As always they did their famous Hakka war dance before the game. When they played Wales, after the dance the Welsh rugby team started singing the Welsh National anthem (Hen Wlad Fy Ndahau - Land of My Fathers). It hadn’t been announced that they would do this but to everyone surprise the crowd joined in and being Welsh sang it loudly and well. Thereafter before international matches the Welsh National anthem was sung. This was quickly copied by other countries and a tradition was born.
@peedee Funny you should say this as God Save The Queen is actually the British national anthem and, as such, should only be sung at a sporting event where the competitors are representing the whole of Great Britain (such as the Olympics). The English national anthem, which should be sung (but never is) at any sporting event where the competitors are representing England alone is [insert drumroll and excessively long pause for dramatic effect here]: Land of Hope and Glory.
Again, please stop referring to it as a dance. It is anything BUT akin to Riverdance or a Morris dance. IT IS A CHALLENGE. Tihei mauri ora.
Thank Christ people decided to copy that tradition from the Whelsh instead of other, more lewd practices. 🐑🐑
@@22DaylightDawning60 Hey there, just to avoid a misunderstanding: Not calling into question what you are saying, just asking to make sure I understand.
Can a dance not be a challenge? I always thought of the Haka to originally be a "war dance" that evolved into other areas of social life. But to me the word "dance" just describes the choreography aspect of it. It seems from your comment that this choice of words could be taken as offensive? Is it because of connotations of being silly or fun or... I don't know, quaint?
@@BeOtterMyFriend My question in response is, do you see the Irish "Riverdance" or the Hawaiian "hula" as a challenge?
The haka is performed at weddings, funerals, rugby matches, and so on. It is an expression of emotions. It's not a dance.
It's New Zealand.
It's a war dance so technically you're wrong
@@mitchand9 no it isn't a war dance.. necessarily- it is a challenge. but yes, haka literally means (a) dance.
@@rahowherox1177 it's no different to the war dance performed my the Pacific island rugby teams. Simply challenging the opposition.
@@mitchand9 yes. A ritual challenge...
But not limited to "opposition".
Gives me goosebumps every time the All Blacks do this…glad you came across this
The opposition are not remotely scared. They're respectful of an amazing tradition. The Haka is an awesome thing to witness.
It's not the Hakka that scares us Aussies, mate. It's playing against the All Blacks itself :D
@@vonnero1250 lol 😆 😂 🤣
Check out the Legend that was Jonah Lomu, taken from us far to soon he was 6 feet 4, 260 lbs and could do the 100 in 10.7 a freight train on the pitch and a gentleman off the pitch.
Great reaction as always! Yes, you were right, Temuera Morrison is indeed a Māori from North Island, New Zealand.
As a South African, I really look forward to the haka, I get goosebumps and wish I was standing with the Springboks witnessing that psych-up of a show (glad I don't have to play them though). It is a sign of respect to honour and accept the challenge laid down by the All Blacks, and boy, you better show up and play hard - cos they don't stop!
Translated lyrics of the "Ka Mate" haka:
I die! I die! I live! I live!
I die! I die! I live! I live!
This is the hairy man
Who summons the sun and makes it shine
A step upward, another step upward!
A step upward, another... the sun shines!
Not such scary words, but its how its delivered that makes it so special.
Search for the "Kapa O Pango" haka - that is quite something. Again, the lyrics are not quite what is portrayed in the dance:
Let me go back to my first gasp of breath
Let my life force return to the earth
It is New Zealand that thunders now
And it is my time!
It is my moment!
The passion ignites!
This defines us as the All Blacks
And it is my time!
It is my moment!
The anticipation explodes!
Feel the power
Our dominance rises
Our supremacy emerges
To be placed on high
Silver fern!
All Blacks!
Silver fern!
All Blacks!
Being an ex serviceman the most emotional Haka for me is "2nd 1st Farewell Their Fallen Comrades With A Huge Haka" just search the title on youtube.
That is so emotional, I love the Defence Force Hakkas, it is so meaningful.
It's a point of honour for the opposition to face the Haka and not flinch. It's one the great traditions of International rugby ........ New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga and other Polynesian islands have Hakas
I remember once seeing Tonga and Samoa both did their tradition dance at the same time on the field and advanced on each other. Hairs stood up on the back of my neck with that one. I honestly thought someone was going to die.
You should see the haka for Jonah Lomu's funeral. It always brings a tear to my eye. Seriously, you should see it. ❤
The haka is a ceremonial Māori war dance or challenge. Haka are usually performed in a group and represent a display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity. Actions include the stomping of the foot, the protrusion of the tongue and rhythmic body slapping to accompany a loud chant.
The Haka is basically "Come on then, if you think you're hard enough."
Great reaction and fully understand the copyright sound issue, a shame but what can you do!?
Brilliant
If you'd like to see some other variants from other parts of Polynesia, the Samoans have the Siva Tau, the Tongans have the Sipi Tau - I forget the name of the Fijians' one, but they have their own too.
The Pacific Islands in that region all have there own form of haka all done for many reasons
In New Zealand there are whole schools that do it - it's amazing. Quite a few vids out there.
Literally warriors intimidating the opposition. Such a cool thing to share this important and ancient cultural practice.
Jason Mamoa has a video too as he is decended from those warriors too through Hawaii.
I used to go and see Wales play New Zealand in the mellinium stadium..the Haka was worth the ticket price on its own!....
I've been to a couple of All Black games. The Haka is always expected and much looked forward to. What's more expected is the response from the opposite team. Watch a few All Black games. They are the team to beat, not many do. They are and have been no1 in the world for so long. A team that is a great ambassador to the sport. Legend Jonah Lomu needs watching. A giant unstoppable man.
Seconded Lomu was an absolute legend . So sad he’s gone now
I was on holiday in Fiji and went to a cultural centre and they had us sit down on the ground and a group did their version of a war haka, the energy that came of those men was truely intimidating and frightening.
Hakas are done for all kinds of events. One of the most beautiful I have seen was done by a school for a teacher who had died. The students performed a powerful and incredible haka to show their respect for him.
My chosen sister is in New Zealand and I have seen videos of her kids performing hakas at school. They are amazing.
Cheers for promoting New Zealand and the Maori people..
We call it the Haka, hearing dance said after it sounds weird to me lol..
So it is tribal and every tribe has unique versions of their own.
It was done before war to intimidate and call on the gods for protection and assistance in battle.
There are different types of Haka performed for different occasions eg. Funerals, weddings and sports matches.
A really fearsome Haka to look up on RUclips is called Kapa o Pango which was performed by the all blacks.
A majority of the pacific islands nations have their own version (look up Manu Samoa and I think Tonga’s is called the Sivi tau, I could be wrong or misspelt)
If you want to see some awesome players, look up highlights reels of Christian Cullen and Jonah Lomu.
Yes, Temuera Morrison is Māori.
Tem-ooh-ear-ah (my best shot to help with pronunciation 😂🤣)
I choke up everytime I watch a haka. It is some of the most primal, emotional and respectful thing you'll ever see.
You're pretty much bang on with your assumptions and deductions. Oh yeah Tem is one of ours. An incredible actor.
The HAKA makes me cry every time. I have so much respect for the Maouri people ❤
Good lord young man , you're so entertaining.fabulous 👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇬🇧
Best reaction to a Haka I've seen so far.
Temuera Morrison is a Maori from New Zealand the Haka is performed to welcome dignitaries & honoured guest and to opposing teams in most sports meetings. It is also used at funerals to bid farewell etc weddings & there are Kapa Haka competitions too.
Your analogy with American football also could not have sounded more American either. Oh...and the other side were NOT scared...honestly.
It's not a dance, it's a total statement of 'we're gonna kick your arse.' They are revered and feared especially during WWI and WWII by the Turkish at Gallipoli. They said they were only warriors who had their respect. They invented trench warfare. Not a dance and not to be laughed at. Greatest ever All Black Jonah Lomu you need to see.
The most famous haka is “Ka Mate”
Composed in about 1820 by the Maori chief Te Rauparaha, “Ka Mate” became known to the world at large when it was incorporated into the pregame ritual of New Zealand's national rugby union team, the All Blacks, in the early 20th century.
There is one of a funeral haka, a New Zealand soldier who was killed in Afghanistan was given a traditional haka send off. That is amazing and very moving.
Check out England Advance on the Haka, and also New Zealand Vs Tonga
New Zealand have their Haka, Tonga have their own war dance called the Sipi Tau.
Very intense.
Samoa too, the Siva Tau; also very powerful.
The haka performed in this game was one of the more tame versions, there is one where the All Black's (that is the name the New Zealand go by) simulate throat cutting, which was banned .The haka itself is essentially a challenge performed by Maori warriors before they did battle. The actor you mentioned also stars in a film called "Once Were Warriors" which is about the violence and drinking associated with the Maoris , the indigenous New Zealanders
There's some great face offs in the 2017 rugby league World Cup when a lot of the Pacific Island nations played each other. Tonga v Samoa was EPIC!!!!! Check it out👍
the tradition of singing the national anthem prior to sporting events originated from Wales facing the New Zealand Haka in 1906, they stood and watched and then sung what is now the Welsh national anthem back at them
Temura Morrison is a kiwi. And a Mauri. He made in name in a kiwi classic called once we're warriors. He played Jake the muss and the fight scenes are definitely worth a look.
Boomer! Temuera Johnson is most well known for a character he portrayed called, "Jake the Muss". Where he plays a super violent, badass fighter Mauri in the projects of New Zealand. You should check that film out, " Once were warriors". Also, speaking of Oceanic and Australian films. Russel Crowe was in a craaaazy film called, " Romper Stomper". Which is all about Nazis. Old film and he is young. Actually scary and disturbing. You can see he had a skill of being intimidating from a young age. He plays a character called Hando. Epic film man!!
Great movie....watched it when I was 19 back in the good old 90s......tops for bringin that up🎬🇬🇧
Really good movie to watch Jake ❤️
Temuera Morrison is a fantastic NZ actor. He is Maori (native people of NZ...and the only indigenous group to have NOT been defeated by invading colonials). Check out his superb performance as Jake Heke, in the absolutely wonderfully gut-wrenching Once Were Warriors.
im australian, our wallabies have a decent record. we have been world champions. but the all blacks are undisputed best team hands down. impressive given the small size of new zealand. the all blacks own world rugby.
The guys in red are the Welsh, and if Micheal Caine shows up and they start singing the song "men of Harlech" all bets are off. (Lol)
It's not a "dance" mate - it's a traditional Maori challenge much loved by all rugby fans all over world
watch the Hakka for the greatest player who died young his name was Jonah lumu, all the greatest players from Nz Rugby come out it was a fantastic send off for a fantastic human and player, it is an honour to watch i am from London and we love the All Blacks
Rugby was first played at Rugby school, hence the name, very popular across the world.
Maori are Polynesian who migrated south west to nz roughly 800 years ago. The haka is a war dance traditionally performed by Maori immediately prior to battle. It is often performed prior to major sporting events such as international rugby games
Not sure if you want to do a reaction video but check out this boys high school performing the haka for a teacher at his funeral (PNBHS Haka for Mr Dawson Tamatea's funeral service) - it was a sign of respect for the whole school to perform this as the hearse made it's way to the hall. I get goosebumps every time I watch this video. Also the haka is a challenge rather than a dance, so you just call it haka and not haka dance - but props to you for wanting to learn more about the Maori culture (btw Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand and yes Temuera Morrison is Maori and he's actually from a well known Maori family)
There are many tribes here in New zealand, yes Tem is a member of one and is decended from chiefs he was trained in traditional maori fighting arts....
The opposite team handled that well, always stand tall with pride,
Love the variety in your videos lately bro. jonah lomu was an absolute legend of the all blacks and rugby. Defo check him out. RIP 🐐
Shame the sound cut out at ket points rgere, love the Haka and the chills it gives me.
Kia ora, the Haka is what led me to fall in love with Aotearoa. Mad respect to all of the iwi and they should be proud of their sons and daughters who have been so respectful and supportive in helping this country boy from almost halfway around the world learn a little of their language and culture. Aroha from the hills of West Virginia.
Yes, he's a Maori from N Zealand. He was in a film which shows the Maori. Think it's called Once, where warriors.Good watch.
Temura Morrison is a Maori from New Zealand. The New Zealand All Blacks are very famous for this. This team is the Maori team, the New Zealand native people. The Pacific Island teams also do this. The NZ evens team also does this, only if they win the competition.
The first time I witnessed a haka was when I was 11 years old, we arrived in Aukland on a cruise ship and we were treated to a show on board, first from some Maori women doing a dance with poi (white pommels on strings) - followed by some men in traditional Maori dress, tattooed bodies & tongues, firing out what felt like a war challenge to everyone in the room
It is obviously a thing they do for tourists, but it was an amazing introduction to the culture of New Zealand - and very different to Australia, only 2 days sailing behind us
I took some Americans to a Rugby League game,they loved it. Our national sides all perform a Haka,mostly before a match,but sometimes after,depending on the sporting code. I'm of Scots decent,Kiwi born,so the bagpipes get me worked up,but the Haka....i dont care who we face after that,just bring it!!
Temuera Morrison is a Maori. Get a hold of a copy of "Once were warriors". Temuera Morrison's character is THE bar fighter, and an astonishingly violent man. Good story too.
Jake the Mus. Astonishingly good film!!!!!
There are number of Haka incidents over the years worthy of note. Haka v Wales is one, and Haka v Ireland is another, and Haka v France World Cup final is another.
Yes, Temuera Morrison is Māori and we in Aotearoa (NZ) are very proud of his success 😀
5:12 hate to break it to you mate but it’s more like “not scared, not scared, not scared, hurry up, I can’t wait until the game starts so I can do you in”
The haka is about intermediation, the Australian team turns around, so back are facing the New Zealand team. American football and Australian football are different games, both are very physical games
Hi fella!! Yeah he’s a Maori (indigenous New Zealander) check out one of his early NZ films, “Once Were Warriors”
Check out the Haka at Jonah Lomu's funeral.
The All Blacks have never lost more than two consecutive matches to England (once, on losses in November 2002 and then June 2003), and have dominated the rivalry between the teams. Of the 43 matches between them, New Zealand have won 33 and England 8, with two draws.
It's not just a challenge. It's also a show of respect for their opponents/enemies.
Australian here. 1 thing we KNOW is that you show respect during a haka. If you disrespect them during a haka they will make you pay for it
Haka is they way to energize themselves before match , to intimidate enemies and its also form of prayer
It is after all war dance that has been performed for centuries. You want to see it performed with clubs and spears, that's scary. Its also performed in nearly all Pacific islands even Hawaii
Jason Momoa did the Haka on the screening of Aquaman with his kids & friends. He’s part Hawaiian, Hawaii is part of Polynesia I just thought it was funny how the people around had no idea what was happening & looked quite nervous 😆 Us rugby fans all know the All Blacks will do the Haka! Wales is my team & it has been known for the ref to break up the staring to start the game. We usually link arms & stare back & accept the challenge to “fight”. It’s really cool.
England replied with their own Haka to the tune of "Swing low sweet chariot" the hand gestures alone upset the All Blacks, there was hell on afterwards, then there's the Geordie Haka which is a piss take.
so england has to reply with an old american slave song and the abs dont get upset with what the poms do because we know you lot have no culture to speak of but dont you lot get upset when the abs do a haka that you lot dont like - then we have the continuous moaning from the NH about the validity of haka - sooo boring!!!
This New Zealand culture and they are proud of it.
Hey Mate !! Yup, Temuera Morrison is a National Icon here in NZ.. correct, he is Māori. Māori are the indigenous people of NZ.
Every NZ rep team performs a Haka before their respective sports from Softball to basketball. But rugby is where it was always prominent.
I am very interested to see more of your reactions and findings say you dive more into the Haka and NZ culture aspect. Even more Rugby, as you grew up watching the NFL!
Solid one mate!
Just discovered your page and love it! Great content and reactions. You definitely need to check out Rugby's biggest hits or Rugby Until I collapse. You will not regret it! Cheers from England 🍻
The Haka is a ceremonial dance to show respect and honour to your opponent. Yes, it is designed to instil fear and show how dominating they are. The Haka isn't just Maori, it's a Polynesian thing too, think Maui in Moana and Jason Momoa before Aquaman, they did forms of the Haka.
Check out Jonah Lomu's funeral... and him playing rugby!!!
Check out some 6 Nations rugby anthems. They always make my hairs stand on end!
Wales in the millennium stadium, Scotland in Murrayfield and in particular Ireland Vs England in crime park.
Also check out Munster Vs the All Blacks. There were some New Zealanders on the Munster team so they did their own haka.
Ireland recently drowned out the haka too if you can find that video!
American football developed from the Rugby League code.
10 meter field marking.
5 plays to score or kick.
The defense retreats to the next line has the ball is recycled.
No stoppage in play.
The ball had to be touches down in the try zone.
Touchdown. Sound familiar.
The Midwest started to pay players. Start of the professional game. Rugby stayed amateur Until 1994.
Rugby Union was a university sport. Rugby League was working class. Still the division.
Check oit the opening prematch of Tonga, Samoa, or Fuji when they play. Every Rugby club in NZ has their own haha. They're on YT.
FYI. Don't react to the biggest hits videos. Most of those are illegal in Rugby. The Tualougie Brothers is a good one.
😅😂🤣🤣🤣 I’m dead with your reaction 🤣🤣🤣
I'm italian but every time italian team plays with New Zeland team I watch the Haka... It is a old war dance and i think it's wanderful! In Italy we have similar ancient dances (not for war)
The "haka" as a war dance, is only one of the many haka ritual dances, there is a specific haka for many occasions, such as weddings, births, funerals, etc, it is a part of the Maori traditions in New Zealand and you can find it in every aspect of New Zealand life. And yes boba fett is a Maori.
This was probably already mentioned. But you should watch the Haka performed at Jonah Lormu funeral.
Awesome reaction vid too 👍🏻
@King Boomer ,as has been said, the Haka is a traditional Maori chant, most often used before a battle. In this form, it is intended to invoke fear into your opponents. But in the game of Rugby (which is all about natural aggression 😉), this has been taken to another step. Have a watch of this for a better opponent and crowd reaction to the All Blacks. ruclips.net/video/QC5w6wopmpg/видео.html
You have just seen part of the reason why the All Blacks are the most feared and respected rugby side on the planet.
And they play rugby just as fiercely, I can tell you.
Yes, Temuera Morrison is Maori. His family/whanau is well-known in the Rotorua area of the North Island.
The guys in red are not afraid. They are facing and accepting the challenge that is being laid down. If you are good enough you will front up and beat them but win, lose or draw you can walk you want to off the field at the end of the day having given your all.
