Does anyone else enjoy watching the New Zealand Haka, i love it and always turn the sound up on the tv as it gives me goosebumps just to hear and see it being performed.
 
Saw the NZ wheelchair rugby team do the haka, now that was something special :)
 
I love the haka, its unique and pumps upt he NZ players.

Wish we could get a zulu tribal dance or something, would be really funny watching all the afrikaaners doing a tribal dance :p
 
actually in the 1920's the springboks had a similiar kind of thing to the haka, was based on a zulu war dance. Jake white was thinking of using it in the the world cup, but decided against it.

Personally I dont really care for the haka, I feel they are just wasting time, trying to postpone the inevitable of us crushing them!!
 
I also like watching it, I know a funny rip off of it.
I say it along with it...

when they hit there thights

"ek slaan my boude* lam, ek slaan my boude lam"

*spelling?!? :D :D

When they do the whole fingers thing...

"ek tell my fingers from een toet teen"

HAHA!

My afrikaans spelling is baaaaaaaaaaaaad!
 
I saw a Veteran English side play a Veteran All Blacks side... once the NZ had finished the Haka the English guys formed a Haka like stance and started doing a Haka like prayer but instead of the usual chanting, they were singing 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'
 
So you guys like to watch a bunch of big-built guys talking gaga and dancing? :sick: I think the Haka is one of the corniest things ever.

Then you either have very little understanding of what the Haka is or couldn't give a toss. I am guessing the latter.
 
The haka is one of the reasons the All Blacks do so well.

The passion and adrenaline that rush through their bodies after that makes them just play that much better i feel, apart from world cups :)
 
You're gay. :o

I dig the haka. It must be quite something standing in front of them as they perform it before a match.

I prefer some of the earlier versions of it where they all jump up at the end. The ending is a bit tame at the moment. :p
