2024 NRL All Stars | War Cry x Haka | Pre-Match Ceremony 

Seeing Gagai speak Māori is truly amazing!!!

That WARCRY and HAKA was one of the best I seen from both sides plus the 2nd leader Dane Gagai the O.G half indigenous Australian half Native Maori did a chant in his indigenous language then finished it with his Maori tribe he's from he mentions in Te Reo Maori and also the 3rd leader Tapine who mentioned his indigenous Australian wifes tribe GAMILLAROI.. Solid effort to both Warcry and Solid game to start of 2024 and the rugby season.. Lesgo! Hats off to the indigenous brothers and sisters for a great game of rivalry. But both your offence and def was on point. Too blufy good. Great win fellas. Great leadership Mitchell. And Yous be going for that 3peat in 2025. The best of luck from a salt water brother. Next Saturday the WINNER of the 2023 AUSTRALIAN NRL Premiership PENRITH PANTHERS vs THE WINNER of the 2023 ENGLISH RUGBY LEAGUE Championship for BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD CUP. LESGO Panthers. BRING IT HOME 2 OZ. 🇭🇲

I'm Australian, but i must say nothing compares to the Haka.

Beautiful culture as a an african this is amazing 👏 love it go the indigenous all stars

Love seeing our Cultures!! Proud as!!! RESPECT!!!

As a Maori myself, this is too theatrical. Both cultures have enough mana with their respective rituals to add theatrics into it.

This was the best thing I've watched on TV for a long time. I recorded it on my phone and watched it over and over again. Everyone loves it who I send it to and that includes many people from other countries...So proud of you! Nothing compares with such a brave demonstration of cultural tradition and heritage, ambition, power, energy and also respect for the other team. Well done, great job guys. Xx

Honestly I'd rather watch THIS, over the "welcome to country" ceremonies. That's how cultures deserve our respect IMO, NOT having it shoved down our throats and dividing us.

So beautiful to have our first people's coming together like this gives me goosebumps everytime I'm so proud to be indigenous so proud of my people & proud to have such a beautiful connection with our brothers & sisters our whanau\family in New Zealand ✊🏾🖤💛❤️✊🏾🖤🤍❤️✊🏾 stay beautiful my people 😊

Imagine if both our Cultures had to combine and go to war 🔥 against others

See back in the days the "difference" was the problem, now ive realised as a 30 year old the "difference" is the beauty

Very beautiful cultures & traditional attires. Amazing ❤👍👌🙂 Watching from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

Much respect to Gagi man what a legend, can tell it meant the world to him❤

Once again, i say, i hope one day Rugby League becomes big with my brothers, sisters and two-spirit siblings in the Indigenous American community (Im Aniyvwiya). I'd love to see what unique dance we could do in response to a Haka or War Cry

WoW !!! Both Warcry just beautifully done. My indigenous brothers and sisters we should never forget who we are and where we come from.

Really proud of Gagai💯💯💯 mad respect brother even tho I’m a blues fan lol Big ups to you💪🏽

I'm from Papua New Guinea and I see Australia as pacific's big brother. I don't want to see the problems from the West and the middle East come affecting us!

Much respect to both sides. Bringing the tradition and culture that has been engraved in your DNA for thousands of years to the game. Blood is thicker than water. Wan Pacifica..Wan Solwara🔥❤💯

Awesome from both cultures!

I am from Papua New Guinea and proud of Pacific cultures.Dan Gagai is special and has stolen the show with his display of two cultures.

Is great cultures meet. Lots great players

To All you dumb People who need an insight of what happened here. The indigenous warcry this year was more traditional then previous years. The collaboration of both Aboriginal and Torres strait cultures was a first. And by joining them together in a medley like this make me proud to be both Indigenous and Polynesian. There were no theatricals in the war cry, people must know that culture evolves through generations and being closed minded only prevents unity.

Shiiiieeetttttt goose bumps

Fabulous form the UK

🔥🔥🔥

The Hammer!!

Respect🍷🗿

The Haka was a bit quiet through the speakers at the stadium such a Shame they couldn't of fix the problem but still was a a good game 🔥🔥

Maori All Stars #16 deserved that final try , yeah boi!!

I love this cultural show 1oo times, awesome

Really would love to see this in w.a one time

Wonderful

Not gonna lie that was pretty hectic 😅

Gagai was tough

love watching 2 cultures mixing it up

That’ll do you Gagai 😂

Ngati Pikiao 😮‍💨

That War Cry was BUEATIFUL but so emotional. I saw it on TV😘😢❤

❤

Never seen the Māori women behind the men doing a haka in this

2 years now'

Beautiful to watch. Maori wins tho no probs needed just pure emotion

I would feel worn out after doing that

Mauri ora

Alg my Māori brothers n sisters nothing can stand between us😢

is gagai maori?

Latrell, Unfit For No.1

These Hakas are getting more ridiculous as each year goes by.

So are y'all going to play rugby or...

When was a unity dance a thing? Since last Monday at rehearsals. More like a maccas and BWS dance.

Too theatrical now!!

This reminds me of a "dance battle" like in that break-dancing Electric Boogaloo movie

Kept thinking there was air escaping my tyre :) Sssssssss

It’s becoming more commercialised every year and now because they want to do the haka and war cry at every opportunity it’s losing its sacredness my opinion

uhhhhh what sport is this again

All blacks do the best haka.

Is this authentic or a bit cringey?

Haka is getting better every year & war cry is just fantastic . Keep the cultures alive 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️

Wow lost 2 years in a row

first

Indigenous warcry is easily the least intimidating you'll ever see

Wow there’s a lot of white people playing amazing

become a joke these hakas..

Since when did the Australian aborigine have a war cry, like what, 5 minutes ago? ... how embarrassing. A bit akin to that cringe thing they did a couple of years ago. And wearing a flag into "battle' ... funny. All theatrics.

Booo. Bring back the original concept, so everybody has a team to cheer for, not just coconuts and abbos.
