Fiji sing moving Noqu Masu hymn before PNG clash | NRL on Nine

[@Matoro11]

Fun fact: the guy with the beard leading the song is an assistant coach and the team’s choir director, which is why they sing so well.

[@Rossinio]

Goosebumps. In some ways that felt more powerful than a Haka

[@sawittwo]

Still prefer a Tribal War Dance. It represents who you are as indigenous people of Fiji. Even God understands this!.

Hey, here's what I found: "Noqu Masu" translates to "This is my prayer" and can be heard as a blessing sung by the players and fans before Fiji play rugby or rugby league. Lyrics: "This is my prayer That am yearning for The name of Jehovah To you Jehovah So that I can praise your name further Help Me today I cry about them to you The Petitions of my Spirit Hallelujah Come, Sing Hallelujah Hallelujah to Him"

I wrote that HYMM. I believe in the power of words, not books. I'm not a Christian, never been to church, but I was able to take the formula of a Kirtan and use it to prove that I can win tournaments and overcome the difficulties of life which can be measured over a period of time also disproving that Luck doesn't exist and talent isn't what makes a winning team. It's the blessings of a GURU that makes miracles happens. I also wanted to proof and make the butterfly effect into a law proofing how a butterfly's wings creates hurricanes on the other side of the world. By writing this HYMM I proved that HINDUISM is not a religion but a way of life that has been time tested and proven formulae to take an ordinary person like me and a losing team like FIJI and make them world champions. Like all experiments we needed a control team which to help maintain the integrity of this experiment and also as a model to be used as an example as proof that it can only be repeated with a GURU's blessings and nothing else. KC Chiefs is also part of the experiment. We have taken Patrick and proved that it's not the players talent that wins games, but the guidance of a GURU that does it. Patrick didn't listen to his coach and let ego come in the way which is the only reason they lost the Bengals game. I have also found the solutions to the 6 unsolved problems of CMI and the answers are in the TV series Ozark and Black Bird which was my solo creation and with my blessings the first time directors were able to show the power of blessings in a different industry twice with two inexperienced directors. Further proving that the world truly will be a better place, if everyone listens to me.\ -Sarvneel S. Sharma

I might be on my own here, bit I still don't understand why tribal dances are associated with sports. It's somewhat cringey isn't it? Before they play a game, players dance around and tell and scream at each other. Imaging doing it before a chess match. 😂

[@maitlandbezzina2842]

If chess were the national sport for most Pacific nations, perhaps they would. It’s their culture and their right to do so and I think it’s brilliant to be exposed to little pieces of each pacific nations traditions through sport. Should be more of it imo rather than surface-level national anthems. These displays show an additional layer to what it means to be a Fijian, NZ’er, Samoan, etc.

[@vodaf1384]

Yeah you’re on your own. Your comment just shows you don’t understand the culture and the meaning behind the haka/war chant/dance. It’s doesn’t take a lot to do some research on their meaning and then you’ll see why it ain’t cringy but actually passion and pride! Culture ain’t limited to rugby, if the person playing chess wanted to do the same, they would.

[@theirst8586]

Definitely on your own. 1000’s of years of culture, now represented on a national stage and you think it’s ‘dancing around and tell and scream at eachother’? Stick to chess white boy, don’t come to the islands.

@@vodaf1384 no I actually know a lot about tribal tradition, but rugby isn't 'war' nor is it 'tradition'. They've only played rugby for about 60 years. So I stand by my point
