10 Great All Blacks haka leaders 

A boomerangs given by a pacific islander really

I can still hear Kapa O Pango from the final, I'll never forget his commanding voice and deliberate cadence

Couldn’t agree more, he was the very best in my opinion

Piri was definitely the best ive seen! Spine tingling even as a Kiwi.

His energy is unparalleled

Yes he's a Te Aute School Boy their an Anglican Maori School 🏫 Sir Apirana Ngata attended there as well they have a history of excellence for education & rugby.

Are u from New Zealand.

There's something about Maori that brings out that primal instinct during the haka. Like a team that's ready for war.

Tana's wasn't my favourite but it certainly was the best

2) Maōri. The Indigenous Language Of Aotearoa (New Zealand) 3) The Haka Is Usually Done For All Sorts Of Events. Eg Weddings,Funerals, Birthdays Etc. In Terms Of The All Blacks Its To Lay Down A Challenge To The Opposition While Displaying Their Culture. 4) I Don't Know All Of Them But I Know A Few. The Ground Motion Represents Returning To The Earth. "Be One With The Land". The Lifting Of The Hands Means Lifting To The Heavens. "Our Dominance, Our Superiority Will Reing And It Will Be Lifted To The Heavens." The Slashing Motion At The End Means A Transfer Of Energy.

I may be able to answer the tongue question! I’ve seen other comments saying it is a display of dominance and meant to instill fear. Another comment I saw said it essentially says “we will defeat you and then we will eat you” (although I’m 99.9% positive the maori didn’t eat anyone lol)

There are two main ones - Ka Mate and Kapa o Pango. Ka Mate is a Haka of the Ngāti Toa tribe which was used by the all blacks for 100 years. Its origins are from Ngāti Toa and not the whole of Aotearoa (New Zealand) and how commercial it has become has been seen as too far, particularly as Ngāti Toa represent only a section of Māori people. Kapa o Pango was written specifically for the All Blacks and was first used in the 2000’s. It means “team in black” and is seen by some (including myself) as a Haka more representative of New Zealand as a whole. I believe there are tribal differences to how the Haka is presented based on history and tradition though, not too sure what those are. Note: I am not tangata whenua Māori (Māori person). I am a first gen immigrant with South African New Zealand ancestry but have called New Zealand home for 21 years now (I’m 26). So what I say is based of my most likely flawed knowledge of Te Ao Māori. It’s a very special culture which I am continuously learning more about. You should come visit and experience it for yourself.

I reckon Ardie will do it

So many great haka leaders across All Blacks history. Perhaps we need a part two?

@@AllBlacks yes, we need to see Hosea

@@AllBlacksim sure all blacks fans would love a part two, especially featuring some of the less known names who have lead.

​@@AllBlacksHosea for sure 👍

Oh gawd... He was like a baby bird trying to fly for the first time

@@CM-pb9mj 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Probably more a sign of mutual respect than anything
