This is my favorite haka. From the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa. This was probably the best All Black team in history. Sean Fitzpatrick led the most fearsome Haka's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GpTsPNwwms&feature=related

that's a gross generalisation. there are plenty of blacks who don't haka.

EDIT: boo to adding a comma to the title.

That's one packed stadium.


Looks like ANZ Stadium in Sydney.
From the YouTube comments it seems like this game was the opener to the Rugby League World Cup game between Australia and NZ that took place 4 hours later.
The gates had just openend 5 minutes earlier, hence the empty stands.

And yes, the Indigenous dreamtime team with the spears won 34-26

Oh, man. I get the chills whenever I see the All-Blacks' haka. His fucking voice is echoing through the entire stadium.

An amusing nod to Aleski Vayner's philosophy on life

I like how the whites guys and Maoris are on the All Blacks team. In my limited travel to New Zealand, it appeared to me that there was a real bond between the two peoples. It was very refreshing on one particular day to see a mixed group of students performing the haka together for a public display.

If only Australia had managed the same with its local people.

I think this one is literally a bit more "Ball Flexin"...

Yeah, but this one has BOTH teams engaged in a haka to the death! And if the Sift has room for 5000 mediocre Family Guy clips . . .

This is very similar to this sift

If anyone is interested, I sifted an explanation about the haka, its history, and its use by the All Blacks a while back.

Grave of the Fireflies (火垂るの墓, Hotaru no Haka?) is a 1988 anime movie written and directed by Isao Takahata for Studio Ghibli. It is an adaptation of the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka, intended as a personal apology to the author's own sister. Some critics (most notably Roger Ebert) consider it to be one of the most powerful anti-war movies ever made. Animation historian Ernest Rister compares the film to Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List and says, "it is the most profoundly human animated film I've ever seen."

...yeah but you Brits say "squirrel" with two syllables, pretentious soundin' crap like that and Al-loo-Min-eee-um...is enough to piss a yank off!....hakA!

Oh, thank you for reminding me of Hotaru no Haka...I love Miyazaki. Wept and wept and wept. I think I'll go watch that again tonight.

That's a good film recommendation.
