For people that dont understand this, the haka ends when someone from the opposition turns their back or walks away, the abs will always stand and wait for this, but wales wanted the abs to move first.
Then we should never turn as our response. Why should they come to our land, and have the right to challenge us, on our ancestors soil and not have a response.
@@deejannemeiurffnicht1791 you clearly don’t understand what happened. The Haka only ends when the opposition turn their backs or walk away. The welsh made the kiwis walk first
@@poriccrompton Not true at all. the Haka ended and they waited for a response. the Allblacks were giving them time to do something in response out of courtesy, nothing more.
+TheVidaddict Or the rockettes chorus routine. I would loose it if i saw that. I doubt it would happen, there is too much testosterone for that kind of thing.
Fun fact: the Haka is not just to "ward off evil spirits", it's also laying down a challenge to the enemy. Basically saying "Come and kill us if you think you can"
They should've done what we did & walked right up into yr fuken face. Now that made it hard for u to finish yr pathetic dance . Especially with the Green & Gold uniform pressed up into yr chins lol
U no what's even funnier than my comment? The fact kiwis can't get the dole anymore ha ha ha. Once upon a time that was yr life blood, when we took it away from you, you had to work like every body else. & now the economy is slowing down, unemployment is increasing a lot of kiwis are doing it really tough. Even funnier heaps came to Perth to make good money they came here broke made heaps lost their job & now are defaulting on their home loans so will leave bankrupt. Ha ha
I watched a match today from Chicago, it was the all Blacks against Ireland. The Haka was excellent but Ireland won 40 to 33 first win for them in over a hundred years against the All Blacks. A great match.
As the saying goes: "Football is a gentlemen's sport played by hooligans, and rugby is a hooligan's sport played by gentlemen." Unless you're from New Zealand, of course! ;) LONG LIVE RUGBY!!! :D
Laura Bowden Mate, Football = 90 mins of pretending to be hurtRUGBY = 80 mins of pretending not be hurt (Unless it's 7s where it's 20 mins of don't make a bloody mistake or you've cost yourself a try)
Morgan Freeman Rugby: 80 minutes of being knocked around by other men and being a man about it. Football: 90 minutes of pretending to be fouled by the opposing players and being a wuss about it.
Man I could feel that energy. I am Australian and in no ways a huge rugby fan but for some reason I always tried to tune into the All Blacks when they played. This is so sick. Its a direct challenge and Wales answered so well. We should have more of this.
English through and through but love this respect to Wales hear, I was at the game as a guest of my Welsh friend and this is still one of the great moments I've seen
it's more a defiant response from wales. After NZ perform the Haka, traditionally, the opposition (wales) are supposed to move off first. Wales decided to ruffle some feathers by staying put and showing solidarity. Personally, I thought it was a brilliant response; Bold. (but I am a little biased ;))
That's not tradition at all, if this is what all white people think then that's crazy insecure for reading into it too much, the AllBlacks always wait to give the other team their turn if they wanna do something in return.
That was actually an Historic moment, New Zealand and Wales. The only 2 Nation's the English couldn't subdue, they had to make a Treaty, both were just too too tuff!
Being English, I don't particularly like the Welsh that much. But that is, by far, the best response I've seen to the Haka. Granted, most responses are quite crap, but that was quality.
Christy Dolan i'm with you mate as an avid englishman..... even from a kid back in 60's 70's when you spoke of rugby you thought wales!!!! nuff said ... barry john was the man back then !!! and this solid stare back after the haka i deem as the welsh insulting them and making them feel small.... good on them
I love the Haka...and I loved Wales response to it......like seeing who blinks first...and the All-Blacks did! Who needs ridiculously expensive pyrotechnics and cheerleaders when the crowd can be drawn into the tension and importance of the game like this?
I am not even a Kiwi but damn, watching the HAKA is awesome. It's fantastic that they can combine sport and national culture to display to the world. Awesome!
Wales were entitled to stand in defiance for exactly the same amount of time as was the duration of the Haka. This subtlety didn't allude me. Confused the hell out of the All Blacks though!
Every time I watch this, my heart swells to near explosion. When I see the passion and feeling in our team's eyes.... I know pride is a biblical sin. But I must contest; the pride I feel and share when I see my national team stand up and show pride in being "Wales" makes me feel it's not a sin, it's a blessing. We did not turn first!
I'm a Maori and it doesn't mean anything to "not back down", the Haka isn't supposed to scare the opposition, it's a declaration of our will to win and the AllBlacks usually wait for the opposition to do whatever their cultural songs or chants etc are.
This was a reminder of what sport is all about! Two teams about to do battle in a test match and the Welsh were like "Are you ready for this?" And the All Blacks respond "That's what we are here to find out right!" And then both teams sum it up and settle it in two words "LET'S DUEL"
way to go Wales! reminds me of the joke about the Irishman walking down the street. Happens up on a fight going on and he asks, "is this a private fight or can anybody join? "
Maybe it's because the Canadian team is too poop for me to understand the intricacies of a serious rivalry with the Kiwis, but I don't get why so many people got a stick in their ass about the haka, far as I care it's the best pre-game ritual in sports.
tv sat hd.in algeria you are an algerian citizen with an algerian passport....the welsh are subjects of the british crown with british passports. they dont have the balls to gain independance.
Andy Horlock I don’t. It is so passé and old, half of them are white guys so the so-called tradition does not apply. It is Maori culture, and quite frankly is very disrespectful to their opponents. Dirty tongues sticking out waggling, ughhh ! Trying to man up before the game Kiwis, stop the immature postering and just let your talent speak instead of this immature joke all other countries have to endure. Grow up NZ !!
the war dance is a tradition passed down for generation. we do it out of culture, of the spiritual rally it gives us, and in rememberance of who we are. the war dance is not meant to entertain the audience, it is to benefit those in preparation for the upcoming event.
+orlando kaufusi so you dont claim Marorori's tradition that means you claim Imperial Culturue of Maoris. thats not "New Zeland Welcoming Culture" bro.That haka ALL New Zeland National Sports Team do is just so ironic while you re not accepting British dominion!
Zahid Usta I am not Maori. I am Tongan but we do a haka similar to theirs. My country has never been colonized or conquered by foreign powers. To this day, our King still sits on the throne.
This is NOT a "dance" it is a haka and the only way you can really "learn" it is to live it. A aka comes from the guts and really says to the opposition "I respect you but I will not take a backward step.
*sigh* Really, dude? Cultural appropriation is pretty lame. The All Blacks do the Haka as an homage to the Maori, they're paying respect. Obviously, it's meant to intimidate, but they do it also as a nod to the indigenous people of New Zealand. Using it because it's "cool" is fucked. That's as shitty as wearing Native American war bonnets.
Khasha Lytle "The All Blacks do the Haka as an homage to the Maori, they're paying respect." No they ain't. All the Kiwis are trying to do is psych out the opposition. Often it works, but sometimes, when you see 15 grown men jumping up and down and pulling faces like a bunch of kids who have been told that they can't have another biscuit, it is had not to piddle yourself with laughter.
I was expecting them to all kick their legs in the air in tandem like show girls! But I get it...they stood their ground and waited til the Kiwis blinked first
A fuckin stare down? I was expecting some music and a dance "Whoa oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh....if you like it then you should have put a ring on it"
I was there on the night, the atmosphere was electric. Only better atmosphere I have experienced in the millennium stadium. Is when Wales denied England the grand slam and won the six nations.
i am WELSH, but fuck you gotta luv the all blacks , the haka is part and parcel of the experience of playing NZ..i'm a typical taff who thinks every game , maybe this time , but never happens lol,still have good day and get pissed afterwards so no biggy
Every team that tries something clever with the Haka goes on to get dicked. I am sure it looks like a good idea at the time to piss off the best team in the world.
Love the All Blacks the Haka can only be matched with the Welsh National anthem. Respect both ways. Wales and New Zealand have the same passion for rugby. Understand the traditions of people; sing your hearts out Wales and create a moment of great spirit and momentous passion in the same way the All Blacks do. Rugby (Y)
For people that dont understand this, the haka ends when someone from the opposition turns their back or walks away, the abs will always stand and wait for this, but wales wanted the abs to move first.
Then all the more impressive of Wales to stand their ground and force the issue back on NZ.
Who won this game?
Then we should never turn as our response. Why should they come to our land, and have the right to challenge us, on our ancestors soil and not have a response.

my favourite bit was when the Wales players stood and watched the haka
Wales Players were just waiting for another session of Haka, because
they also wanted to learn how it's done and perform it to the English team
