WHICH ONE DID YALL LIKE MORE??? DROP IT IN THE COMMENTS!!!

Where I live in Sydney has a huge Tongan population and after Tonga won this game a street party broke out. Cops turned up and blocked traffic and just let the Tongans party. No one can stop a Tongan party.

I am originally from England, I was lucky enough to have had the honour to live in Tonga for 5yrs. NZ indeed have the Haka, in Tonga it is the Sipi tau..... I watched this game, in fact most of the 2017 world cup in a friends bar "Vuna Bar" and with out a doubt it was the best sporting experience of my life. Tonga did indeed win this game, but no surprise to anyone in The Kingdom. Tonga went on to play England in the semi-final and were 20-0 down with 10 minutes to go. Then within the final 5 seconds of the game the Ref decided not to go to the video ref on an Andrew Fifita try, he made an incorrect ruling and England won 20-18 (even the English commentators agreed that it should have been a try). Did Tonga complain .....no they danced in the streets all night proud of what this tiny island nation had achieved. Mate Ma'a Tonga....always in my heart.

Breakdown on the Haka NZ have the Haka - they differ depending on the team, this NZ team is the Kiwis / different to the All Blacks because the Kiwis is NZ's Rugby LEAGUE team and the All Blacks are NZ's Rugby UNION team. All NZ's National Teams do a Haka, slightly varying from one sport to the next. The Tongan Haka here is called a Sipi Tau - My tongan brothers and sisters keep it 1HUNNID when it comes to their National Teams, esp for Rugby League! The city gets flamed up and it was like Little Tonga in NZ when the Tongan team came to town. The biggest highlight of the Game were the supporters man, in a stadium that is considered home for NZ - home advantage went to Tonga man, brah, evident in the Sea of Red in the crowd. Such a good buzz man! EXTRA The Poly islands and NZ are the only teams to have a War Dance due to our cultural significances, the world knows the dance as the Haka because NZ were the first to incorporate this practice in sport - most prominent in Rugby (Union) via the All Blacks -first noted to have been done in 1905. The Aussies tried to come up with one but its so covered up and a failed act, its like forgotten history. NZ's War Dance is called the Haka Tonga's War Dance is called the Sipi Tau Samoa's War Dance is called the Siva Tau Fijis War Dance is called the Cibi

That's the Kiwis. Not All Blacks.

Was actually an awesome game, worth watching the highlights. Tonga managed to beat NZ in this game, which was a big upset

That was Martin Taupa'u with the cornrows..he stiffarms people's souls out of their boots.

This is Rugby league .. that is the New Zealand Kiwis different from the Allblacks... Tonga beat them in this game first time ever in history..

just letting you know the Tongan haka is actually called the Sipi Tau. Loved your reaction man hahahaha

Man, I just love that you love this stuff. It is the most inspiring and motivating sight that you will ever see.

as a kiwi i loved the tongan's sipi tau. gives me chills seeing both sides. love all my island brothers.

Rugby League hakas are the best, Tongas haka was amazing, the game was played in New Zealand but the crowd was 80/20 Tongans at least. It was an amazing game as well.

Just a little side note brother, New Zealand Rugby UNION is the All Blacks, New Zealand Rugby LEAGUE is the KIWIs but thanks for the reaction keep it up!👌🏽👌🏽💯🔥❤️

stop hating of this dude, he dont know just relaxx

When Tonga made history 🇹🇴🙏💯

You just gotta love the passion from the Tongan and Samoan fans man

Yes you have to watch it, I was at that game and even 3 years on I still get goose bumps watching this.

Damn I am half caste of both these nations and I've always been proud of the haka Maori but I must say my Tongan side damnnnnnn this is a first for me as normally their war cry was meh in the past ... proud of both my cultures proud to be Maori/Tongan

no way i just found ur chanel and i luvvvv ittt love too see you resting to some videos from new zealand !!

Your a crack up mbro “Is dat Shawn Johnston!!”😂😂😂🤙🏼

Yooooo when you picked Taumololo! U a real one homie, big loves from NZ

Was one of the biggest upsets in rugby league history

Man, Tonga is a tiny island country, only 160,000 people, but they hold their own in the haka and in the game!

5:06 that’s not Shaun Johnson Shaun Johnson plays for New Zealand but credit to u for knowing some league players

React to Tonga vs Samoa war-cry face off 2017 please brother 🔥 more intense then this one but mean reaction 💯

The haka is a predominant reaction of challenges or provoking a challenge for all islands in the Polynesian triangle. It is clearly strong between NZ teams, Tonga and Samoa. They are similar in actions and words. While some can argue that it is to intimidate teams, it is the concept of mana. Those two teams are performing the haka to test the mana of a person, the mana of team and mana of the sport. To make it clear that mana is not just power/control in definition but its the way one has authority and prestige.

Cool how you know some players, good vid g

The dreadlock guy is Martin Tapau. Big hitter and hard runner Jason Taumalolo used to play for the New Zealand team and then swotched back to his Heritage team of Tonga. So he played for both. Lots of emotion because he jumped ship but did it for.family pride. Basically all of Tonga got behind him and the team it was pretty cool but definitely made it more emotional. Neighbours, brothers, teammates, all representing each other so its pretty cool. Face off is always good.

The guy with the cornrows is Martin Tapau recognised as one of the strongest players in the game

This has to go down as one of my all time favorite league games

To answer your question at 2:43, They also line up like that to sing the national anthem during bigger games. I think they are supposed to line up like that whenever there's a performance

That's the rugby league world cup quarterfinals. Great game. Jason and the Tongan team made it to the semifinal game where they almost pulled an upset in last seconds of the game against England but they didn't get the call . Both are great games to watch

I was at this game...the crowds was going crazy.....Lesshgo!!

Aay man, you have to check out the Haka Standoff: the junior kiwis vs the junior kangaroos‼️ intense asf!

Glad you like it bro. Respect

The guy at 4:46 is Martin Taupau

Yess you must watch the game to understand the intensity. This was a world cup game which means players returned to represent their nations which shook New Zealand teams. Due to core players like Taumalolo, Taukeiaho, Mau, Hurrell, Tupou, Fusitu'a, and others were to represent NZ and Australia do to citizenship. But represented their original origin of their parents that brought a small nation to the forefront of the world. Where you seen our sea of red bleed through and through. "Loyal to our soil'. Which rang and reminded what's lost is not forgotten!!!

Oh shook!! That was hard‼️

The guy with the braids is Marty Taupau! Absolute weapon

Sean Johnson is a kiwi who played for the warriors, A New Zealand rugby league team 💙

Is it poor form to cross over the midfield line when performing the Haka? Is there any etiquette there? Or not? Just wondering from Georgia, USA. Thanks. Cheers.

Sean Johnson is a kiwi brother so if he was there he'd be wearing black, not red

Yeah you gotta watch it!

One of the greatest honors in a international rugby players career is to face the Kiwis and the Haka. I have never faced it but still feel some pride when the Kiwis do it even if they beat the Australian team from time to time.

This is Beautiful the game was an upset to the Tongan brothers and Shawn Johnson is a Maori, I think he was injured but he was selected to play for the kiwis💯♥️

It’s a must watch game my dawg 😂MMT ALL DAY🔥🔥🔥🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴

This game was one of the biggest upsets in the Rugby League World Cup.New Zealand being a teir1 team and Tonga being a teir2. Heated cause Jason taumalolo and Andrew fifta..drop the kiwi squad last minute to play for Tonga.so Alot of the kiwi players were upset.and this was there 1st time meeting up on the field. This game was awesome worth doing a reaction to the highlights.

Brooooooo!!!! Ruthless game!!! 🇹🇴

Shout out to this brother....respect👊

Yip y’all have to lad 🔥

Awesome much love😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good stuff, always good to get an outside perspective. Speaking of which, from a wider-world point of view, it doesn't matter that much if its the All Blacks or the Kiwis, or Rugby Union or Rugby League, what matters more is showing interest. Cheers.

The haka is a call to fight but the opponents respect we all do

Shaun Johnson is from New Zealand

There’ll be plenty more of these during the Rugby League World Cup in England in 2022. The first match will be on 15th October 2022. Btw, those were the New Zealand Kiwis vs Mate Ma’a Tonga.

The King Of Tonga was present during this whole tournament and there called Nz kiwis rugby league team

This game has a massive storyline. NZ has always picked Tongan players in their team, ( Taumalolo etc ) and in this World Cup, 6 of the best NZ players who are of Tongan decent decided to play for their family heritage (TONGA). This caused a lot of drama between the two teams, hence why it’s so intense. Tonga has a population of 100,000 people compared to NZ (5 million people) just so you know the massive gap between these two countries. NZ is also the 2nd best team in the world, and Tonga wasn’t even considered a team worth competing against before these players switched their allegiance over to their heritage. Pacific Islanders hold a special place in their hearts for their heritage. Even though we may be born in NZ, Australia, USA We still love Tonga more than anything hence why it was so easy for these players to switch over from these big countries and play for Tonga. Watch the highlights bro, you’ll enjoy the game!!!

That dude with the cornrows got my knees weak.

Your reaction is hilarious 😂. That game was hectic. You should check out highlights for this game. Tonga vs New Zealand world cup highlights.

One is Rugby Union and this video is a Rugby Leauge team to different types of Rugby

I agree, the best ever Haka upload is not actually the best Haka. I think it was more thought of as the most exciting Haka because it was the 1st time a European team (France) had physically challenged the All Black's Haka by forming the shape of an arrow & advancing towards them. The challenge by both teams always makes for a great game. Maori teams playing against each other have the same intensity as NZ & any other Pacific Island team. Those are our cheerleaders :) Thanks for the upload!

Shaun Johnson was in the kiwis team💯

Mans said from nursery rhyme to DMX 🤣🤣🤣

Marty Taupau is big deadlocked guy. He played with the "Hitmen" ✊

My hometown Hamilton. New Zealand rugby league team versus Tonga.

The big fella with the dreds is front row Martin Tapau from manly sea eagles

The kiwis were straight up disrespectful as fk during their haka That's why they got smashed in the game during the second half.

It’s a respect thing to line up and watch them intimidate you like a national anthem I guess

Lesshgo wasn't expecting to see this.

Martin Taupau is the guy

In Tonga, the war dance is called the Sipi Tau.

An opposition team can meet the challenge but its common knowledge that if they cross the line to where you are.. its on

The game was actually played in New Zealand but obviously have a massive Tongan supporter base.

Shaun Jonson is in the kiwis in black . And the guy with corn rows is Martin tapau

to stand in a line while the other people is doin a haka is a signal of paying respect

the one with the dreads is Martin Tapau, and Shaun Johnson is the one in the Black Jersey

I had to rewatch this game due to this reaction! Dammit!

Kiwis and MMT game...one for the history books this game..🙂🙂

That dude for new Zealand with the braids is Sean Paul the reggae singer hah.

Marty Taupau is the name of the player you've been told to check out. Shaun Johnson is there but playing for the kiwis in black.

i have seen adam blear aka the captin of the kiwis team he came to my rugby game i was so happy because he came to surrprise the same damn it was so good

Me: Scrolling through recommended KZfaq: American reacts to New Zealand Hakka Me: Thank you KZfaq, very cool

this one was cool cos the guy who opened for the tongans in the middle of the circle, turned down the kiwis to play for his native team

play this at my funeral and ill jump out my casket

I think you were talking about the French team who lined up and marched forward during the haka to finish face to face with the New Zealand players. Showing they were not afraid because the haka is meant partly to intimidate your opponent. France ended up winning that game too if my memory is good.

Both cultures are very staunch on there Hakas especially the maori but both are very spiritual and hard on the culture

when the AB's do the haka they are laying down a challenge, if you face them and watch the haka you are accepting their challenge and it is also a respect thing, it is known as mana kia ora and kia kaha

HAHAHA thanks for showing love , tonga till i die 🇹🇴🔥

The guy with the braids that people have said to react to was Martin Tapau

Maori vs cook islands now that was more intense than this one

When they did a haka .. war dance they would lay a fern down if the enemy didnt pick up the fern they would fight

that's Shaun Johnson at 7:54 on the right in the New Zealand side

When they do that is that they are accepting the challenge

Tongans and Māori stance is respect for their fellow Polynesian brothers❤️

When the other team walks towards the haka they are excepting the challenge brought forward to them and it's a sign of respect. The haka is based upon all the challenges the Maori have overcome and defeated in glory that's all it is.

One of the greatest games!

The Tongan terminator was there. Voted the scariest player by his peers. Manu ma'u. There's a few islander teams. Tonga Samoa Fiji png nz. They put on the best games. The passion is unbelievable. It's something to behold. The fans go crazy. It means so much to them. Go look up the term " samoan sidestep"

Yo Sean, what's the name of that beat in the intro?

This is actually the New Zealand Kiwis Rugby league, totally different team and Haka of the New Zealand All Blacks.

All of this has probably been said.. Firstly, this wasn't a home game for Tonga. They were the away team, playing in New Zealand. Just shows how Tonga shows to support their teams. It's beautiful. Secondly, Tonga is a Pacific nation of about 100,000 people. For them to beat a team that is full of representatives like New Zealand is unbelievable. This same team went on to beat Australia a few months later (the best Rugby League team in the world) My last point, this isn't the All Blacks. The AB's play rugby union, a different code of rugby. However, NZ are a rugby league powerhouse in their own right, having a number of superstars within the NRL. Great reaction. MATE MA'A TONGA!!! Let's gooooo
