Most Intense Haka

[Tish]

Thought I would share the All Blacks Haka with you.

 

[Alligatorob]

Impressive!

What are they playing?

 

[NorthernLight]

I love it! @Alligatorob The All Blacks are the New Zealand rugby team. You might remember this from the movie *Invictus* too.

The All Blacks are the New Zealand rugby team.

Thanks, and now I do remember the movie!

Well, that was cool.

This is kinda funny...not the ritual, but what I saw when watching he All Blacks play another team that does a Haka.

The two teams sorta took turns. When one team finished, they watched the other team's haka. The looks on their faces was something. It was a mixture of concern, respect, and competitiveness. "This is serious, but we'll have to top that."

It was damned neat.

But, you know, it's an extremely masculine display of power and aggression, and we simply can't have stuff like that any more. It's not good for us.

I wish I was younger just so I could learn and do a Haka.

Today, my creaky bones would probably have me falling on my behind.

Real interesting ritual, isn't it?

Intimidation and self-motivation.

But I like stuff like that, it is what we here in the US, in the 70s, would call "soul", but of a different kind.

Hah!

I barely have the strength to watch it.

I was at Gosford when the All blacks faced Fiji or Samoa and they answered back with their own Haka, it was electric the whole place erupted.

Also when the All Blacks faced the Australian indigenous team.

I will try and find them both for you.

All Blacks VS Fiji Haka

 

[Tish]

Australia vs All Blacks War cry.
It gives me chills!

All Blacks VS Fiji Haka

You know, in one way it looks like two troops of baboons posturing, but damn, it still speaks to me.

I guess I'm a baboon at heart.

Thanks!

I think this is the Samoa Siva answer to the All Blacks Haka

 

[Tish]

Last one, this time Samoa issued the challenge first with their Siva answered by The All Blacks Haka

I still have my t-shirt with the words to the Haka on it

Displays of masculinity.
