I am a maori from nz we wer the only ones to do the haka since way back in the days its just resent that everyother poly culture has done there style of haka which is meke for the pasifik realm

@@Pax2g the haka pre 1990's was cringey though. just some dudes hopping about

@@elliottboyd9585 You are correct. It was only when "Buck" Shelford became captain that it changed. He told them if we are going to do it we WILL do it correctly. Look at the HAka performed at the 1987 WC...that now looks like amateur hour. I'm a Kiwi BTW

Tonga perform the Sipi Tau, Samoa perform the Siva Tau, and Fiji performs the Cibi.

justin setzer 😂

True but these guys wish they had “soccer” player salaries 😂

No brain injury either

Mr A.G god knows they deserve it. No pride in football. Just a bunch of millionaire crybabys trying to cheat the game for a penalty or free kick. I have no idea why it is so popular Haha used to be a great game before it turned sissy

@@LyricalJProductionz nice.. Let's be nice... You didn't have to go there... I mean your not wrong...but you didn't have to say that

There's rugby union and rugby league. And to make matters worse there are rugby union leagues

league is for pussys 😁😁

@@matildasdaddy8012 prick

jakiiboi8 true

matildas daddy League is far more entertaining; the faster pace of play brings a much higher intensity to the game than compared to the much slower pace of Union.

No sticking overweight guys in pads

I really hope they let a trans into this sport and watch her get her ass kicked

@Cali Krause my bad, and women.👍

@donkey ass reviews and do's Barely, might see the odd scrum cap, but I havn't seen pads for a long time. It was usually to prevent repeat dislocations aswell.

The man who took the sport professional absolute legend r.i.p

I second that 👍 a legend!! May he rest in peace

@@jamesgolder896 watching him play was what made me fall in love with the all blacks as a kid. He's the reason i started watching rugby.

The God like Jonah lomu.

Nothing wrong with a good old fashioned Rucking ;)

Wasn't a very good one

Jon guy who got punched or the guy that threw the punch

Dap the guy that got punched, I’m not 100% certain on the facts but pretty sure he became partially blind in one eye as a result of the punch and was forced to retire

Boring

Watching NFL is like watching grass grow there a tackle and then the play won't start until next year or something whereas rugby is a nonstop full contact sport. Edit:don't get me wrong football is still a good sport its just my opinion because I've been playing rugby for 6 years

How has anyone liked this comment jesus christ

BILYUM BORDELLO or Johnny Wilkinson - for a small guy he took out some beasts much like Faf.

Faf is a short wee loser

His a bum

Faf is a champ. Springbok with the heart of a lion.

(T)Reinach is actually so much better.

Battalion lead Different Breed

Course they would, people adapt

In rugby they wouldn't in american football they'd win.

Different sport dude can't compare, rugby don't stop so often it less intense but you have to keep energy for the whole 80 minutes but nfl players are better when it goes for intensity on a short periode of time

NeuRolyS yes, but it’s easier to adapt to intensity over a short period of time, which all Rugby players have, because all they would need to do is to go harder because no need to preserve energy. Where as Football players just wouldn’t be able to do it

No the All Blacks and Maori All Blacks do the 'Haka'. The Samoans do the 'Siva Tau' and the Tongans the 'Sipi Tau' Same sentiment as in a challenge before battle but calling them all Haka diminishes the cultural relevance. Basically Rugby has a thriving international competition (unlike league which is barely played by anybody)

Well done for playing a real man's sport bru

Mr. Oscar yeah mouth guards are their only protection

Yep thats all we need is mouth guard wel some of us I play in a provincial rugby team in new zealand this sport goes hard depends on where u play aswel i pkay in the forwards as a openside flanker n ur always at the ball first at every maul and ruck no room for pads n helmet

lol helmets don’t really protect you, neither do the pads.

Nick Sibert U definitely can feel the difference getting tackled with pads compared to no pads bruh lmao.Pads and helmets definitely make a difference. Alot

listen bro, im english and love my rugby. but writing off the yanks just because they have helmets is stupid. they use those things as battering rams and provably still get fucked up because theyre all coming down with brain damage from hits to the head - it's in the courts at the moment nfl teams are some of if not the richest sport teams in the world and they get the biggest and most powerful athletes in the world. on top of that rugby is an 80 minute game where size and power is tempered by the need to run around for the full game american football on the other hand is a set piece game where you have huge guys, as big and bigger than the biggest players in rugby - typically our lock forwards - charging at eachother with battering rams on their heads literally as fast as they can, then being able to rest so they can do it again on top of this in union at least and part way in league we have to wrap the arms in a tackle. whereas correct me if im wrong americans but i believe they can run and smash people with full on shoulder charges and though they arent meant to - often get away with full on helmet smashes with 300lbs+/135kg+/21stone+ of weight behind them running at full speed like i said i love my rugby and cant wait for the world cup starting friday but to discount these monsters just because they have pads and a helmet is a mistake. these guys are beasts

Hurling is deadly XD

seconded. either etzebeth or his bok predecessor; bakkies botha (the guy who headbutted the dude on the ground in the video). both are beasts

Plus Bakkies Botha

CFC 1 1900s rap? Lmao 🤣 they were spitting bars during the Great Depression.

@Hammer 001 Union is the real sport. It is acknowledged by league players as the harder game.

I started playing both when I was 5.

@Hammer 001 Sure, grew up in Brisbane, played both for years. Rugby is a much harder game.

@Hammer 001 Yes you are correct Rugby Union is a harder game. Good to see you changed your mind.

@Hammer 001 Of course it is. So is league. 😐
