Seeing Gagai speak Māori is truly amazing!!!

[@yessirrr5182]

He was getting real emotional cause he was also facing his other side who he's been around all his life

[@furiousstylez263]

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.

[@UNITEDFORLIFE2024]

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

[@KindoNice14]

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

[@kizombeiro8130]

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

[@Samizouza]

War challenges in league tend to be more theatrical than union

[@ComaToast1]

Agreed my brother… too much energy energy to playing out to much for the yt man

[@susankauschke5835]

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

[@josephinepettet8605]

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 😊

[@kevinyowait2463]

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

[@yessirrr5182]

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

[@WinnieBlue25s]

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

[@RAM_845]

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.

[@369ZIR]

You’re a clown. As an immigrant I’ll just give you some free information. A Welcome to Country is a ceremony performed by a local Aboriginal person of significance (usually an Elder) to acknowledge and give consent to events taking place on their traditional lands.

[@369ZIR]

Cultures deserve your respect? Man shut your uncultured clown self up. 😂

[@leeelisaia4892]

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

[@frankmotton7167]

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

[@rouruinapotoru3591]

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

[@Investwithmitch]

Awesome from both cultures!

[@dekker5149]

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🔥❤💯

[@julianalderson3938]

Is great cultures meet. Lots great players

[@TheReddShinobi13]

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

[@nimideniro8404]

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!

[@jah_maori2706]

[@maddog6054]

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 🔥🔥

I love this cultural show 1oo times, awesome

[@JayWins22]

Not gonna lie that was pretty hectic 😅

[@user-bo5rl6mj7j]

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.

[@dreadaips7429]

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.

[@lorraineelizabethhemi4666]

Wonderful

[@685Original]

Gagai was tough

[@trevorhowell9034]

love watching 2 cultures mixing it up

Ngati Pikiao 😮‍💨

[@kevindally2417]

I would feel worn out after doing that

[@yessirrr5182]

Na it's the best way to hype up, get the blood going, sometimes being too relaxed makes you too quiet, depending on the emotional level and energy you came into the game with and how you prepare yourself physically aswel, has to be a balance, can't be too much on 1 side

[@ComaToast1]

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

[@Thugooway]

I've always enjoyed a good Haka, this was too long and a bit weird.

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

[@jeffstryker1454]

All blacks do the best haka.

[@PhoenixSunsNZ]

The All Blacks haka has never even been close to any Rugby League Haka. The Māori All Blacks on the other hand have done some mean haka.

[@yessirrr5182]
