Well I suppose that the score was due to the fact that rugby has been played in New Zealand for over a century now whereas it's relatively recent in the USA. In a few decades things might change. And no, I'm not American. My late parents came from two great rugby playing nations. My dad was Welsh and my mum was French.
I see the ABs took the more friendly option for the haka. We Australians usually get the throat slitting gesture at the end. As the howling and screaming what was that all about?
and pretty soon .. America will do some form of modified and "modern" Haka .. claiming some of their players great grandfather/grandmother were married to someone whose grandparents were Maori decents. and Woke Americans will protest claiming racism.
I see the sods were complaining about the Irish team winning the series in new zealand that the Irish had too many foreign players in their team... Bloody cheek... As if they've NOT had the pick of the south Sea islanders for many years now and we know why, its because Tonga and the other little islands are nearly bankrupt so any decent players are enticed to new zealand by MONEY... even before it became professionall
Jus for being ruude we'll leave yoawa team with 100 to wus and zeero to yuuu guuyz with probably half of them in crutches for the beyta haulf of the yeeer.
Why is it such a revered little dance now.. Just take a look many years back and see how it was performed... Not even a minute and no opposition having to stand still while that lot... Who by the way I VENTED RUGBY.... NOT... do the Watoosie.... To supposedly threaten the opposition.... Captain Cook wouldn't have been impressed...
I'm a player from the time rugby was a game for people, not a business for cheap merchants. At that time, the haka was a respected ceremony,, not a worthless TV commodity. Nowadays, if the other team wants to challenge the haka, they should be allowed to do so, each on their side of the field. The current haka is just a pathetic commercial tomfoolery.
So you have no respect for the culture or heritage. You see it and all you see is the tv and commerce in it. That's a reflection of who YOU are. A-hole.
really? would you have preferred to have seen tanks and the army and navy and marines march on the field? of course you would. because the USA doesn't have a culture. the rest of the world has a culture, they have song, they have dance, they have food and they are proud of it. the USA has Levi Jeans, guns and bombs. Don't be too hard on your own ignorance , after all it's what makes America great!
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Hey banana man I've donated 42pints of blood in my life, I was a cop for 9 yrs, I'm a class A driver, I've owned 8 bikes (dirt, sport an cruisers) an toured the country 3xs, I've owned 3 horses an was a farrier for 12yrs. I played an coached local USA Rugby for 25yrs. I've also voted every election. Yeah I did all this in the USA! So think before you call somebody an Ignoramus, if the shoe fit wear it ya IDIOT! The USA Eagles rugby team is God awful but getting better, horaaa! The USA pro football owners has stifled any an all rugby growth in the USA forever in the past, the gates are down an rugby is here an growing.✌️😎
The HAKA is a great tradition done by many nationalities an it's done prior to rugby matches with southern hemisphere teams. The NZ All Blacks came an played the USA Eagles and laughed while playing the match. NZ-70 USA-3 was the final score. The HAKA is well known in the rugby commonplace. 👍
Well, the haka is not a kiwi tradition, well it is of sorts. It was brought to NZ by the Polynesians when they settled. However, afetr all, NZ has not got much else going its way
@@koolworld27 The incumbent PM is am oligarch which is typical of socialists. Australia is awesome, as is India, Singapore, SA.Kenya travel a bit. Until you have ridden a motorbike down Pacific Highway 1 from SanFranciso to Santa Barbara, you will see how much better these places are
@@jimwalsh8520 Clearly you don’t understand the definition of either the word “oligarch” or “socialist”. Prime Ministers in Commonwealth countries such as NZ, Australia and Canada have far, far less relative power than any US President. Regardless, New Zealand is a far better place to live than the shithole that is the current day US and beats it in practically every single metric in relation to liveability and quality of life. The Haka is a distinctly New Zealand tradition and those Polynesians that colonised NZ did so 700 years ago. Yes, other Polynesian groups have evolved similar war dances over the centuries but to try and state that 700 years is not long enough to evolve a distinct culture and traditions is idiocy.
I would just give them my back. I respect their culture, but if you're going to use your war dance to intimidate me, I'm going to disrespect you right there and then.
