In college in the Philippines me and my buddies from NZ flash mobbed with the haka. And to our surprise, right at the end of it we heard 6 Samoan boys hit the Siva Tau at the other end of the courtyard. Afterwards we shook hands and then had decided to have lunch together. It was good to see other island people out there.

[@william_coduks]

It is ancient. Just like all the variations of war dances around the pacific.

[@Me-ex7qg]

Tongans never performed war dances before battle. The sipi Tau was penned in 1994. It's more of an imitation of the haka.

That was hot stuff from NZ & Tonga. PNG definitely need something traditional before a game to get the boys hyped up. It doesn't matter if you're living outside PNG. It can still be taught during training & team bonding. Fans, what you reackon? Please give comments about something traditional before the game. NZ, Tonga, Samoa, & Fiji have something traditional/Cultural to show, what about PNG? Kevin Papua New Guinea

Probably the lamest Haka I’ve seen. No tense energy. Casually strolling. No decent pukana. Sipi Tau carried more mana to be honest. (I should rephrase this. When I say ‘lamest’ I mean, this Haka was whack. Who wrote it and choreographed it. Why are we all doing the same ring huddle as every other team? And what was up with the pointing and walking?? Seemed weak as opposed to the intensity we normally have.)
