Is this appropriation ?
The powerful dance that's scares of Queen victoria
Where is the history?
What they were doing was not haka nor did they explain it's true meanings. What these people were doing was an utter insult to Maori everywhere.
WOW,gets me every time,so amazing!
MANDI LE HAKA
It's so weird to see white people doing the haka.
I'm a fan of the All Blacks. I love the haka!
Stupid ritual, keep that stupid thing at home
When haka is done by Maoris players it's real but seeing white new zealanders throwing their tongues thats pathetic ridiculous
Good to see no one of any authority was consulted in making the video.
What? The Haka is NOT a war dance!
what those people are doing at 1.42 kinda insults me as a young Maori
Love AB and their Hakka
Why can't the opposition to the all Blacks do something different like a funny dance?? Teams get fine if they don't acknowledge it
I wish teams could just walk away and not watch it, it gives the new zealanders a psychological advantage and puts fear into the opposition that they shouldn't have to accept.
view bait. not a whole lot of history in this short segment.
Such a cool tradition, want to learn it now
