As a Polynesian, a native South Pacific Islander, I feel the mana watching both these teams showing their pride in their culture. Blessings!

Me and my dad watch the NRL all-star games because as people of American Indigenous heritage, we love seeing Indigenous people killing it

[@donaldduck2139]

when they stick the tongue out it is saying to your adversary if you lose to me today, you will end up on this tongue, when I am eating you. . . it was meant as the biggest insult knowing that sooner or later you would be released back to the earth as a stool. . .Tonga Samoa Fiji do their own versions to each other, but for a while it was only NZ, they also do haka at weddings, funerals, welcoming ceremonies etc

[@RealFansSports]

Interesting! Thanks for breaking that down for us.

[@shannongirdler5479]

Love watching the Haka n the war cry’s . They are amazing to watch

[@RealFansSports]

That was pretty amazing, to be honest.

[@PeteV.53]

I have not read all the comments so others may have already addressed what I am going to add but here goes anyway. Hakas are performed by both men and women but not together. A haka can be a warrior challenge, a mark of respect to an honoured person or group; it can be performed at a time of mourning or as a celebration at a wedding. There are different hakas and different words used depending on the occasion. One thing in particular i love about the haka is that all New Zealanders, both Maori and non-Maori are equally invested in the delivery. There are plenty of haka videos where the performers are clearly of non-Maori descent but their passion and delivery is the equal of their team-mates. This is the epitome of inclusiveness. One thing to add about the Indigenous guys. At about 6:20 onwards you will see some wearing a white head-dress. They or their family/ancestors are from the Torres Strait Islands to the north of the Australian mainland. The head-dress is traditional to those islands. I absolutely love the annual Indigenous/Maori Rugby League game.

[@MusMasi]

Tana Umaga leading the haka was so cool.

[@RealFansSports]

That is so interesting, okay wow thank you for that information.

[@oddpoppetesq.3467]

Holy crap, at about 9:26 ehen they starting tapping their weapons together that sent shivers up my spine. Imagine hearing that at night in a jungle as they steadily move towards you 🥶

[@RealFansSports]

I agree especially in a more natural environment it would truly feel different. - Nonpfixion

[@theausibeast7472]

both culture have the own war cry and is something really special to there culture so they give the best cause is not only them been represented in the field but the whole nation

[@RealFansSports]

We did start to see that when we did more research into the Haka as well as the war cry.

[@Goodguybce]

It’s so refreshing to see reactors, and particularly US reactors, appreciate the deeper cultural significance and variety of ‘Hakka’s’ and wider traditional performances. Keep up the top work fellas ✌️

[@RealFansSports]

Well thank you, Zach has taught me a fair amount honestly. He has done a great job with helping me understand bits and pieces even more. - Nonpfixion

[@rodneymcgiveron7494]

Within the Australian indigenous nations they dance is story telling history , and favours animals and caring for the land .. They can teach us all great lessons ..It's also the oldest continuous culture in the world ..about 70,000 years

[@elleahmat7922]

🎉❤ loving the 2 indigenous reunited in the sport that we love most and we come has one ❤ Aboriginal and Torres strait.... dancing with pride💙💚🤍🖤

[@Frank-rx8ch]

The haka is used for many purposes and occassions. Was used when Barak and Michell Obama landed in Auckland. Other occasion could be at weddings, welcoming visitors, singers etc. Even Husein Bolt freaked out when his trade mark was used during a powhiri/welcoming to Aotearoa.

[@RealFansSports]

That's pretty fire and from what we read before doing this video we saw that there are many different occasions that the Haka can be presented at and we definitely think that it is truly something special.

[@biggive5542]

That feeling during the Haka - we call it “MANA” it’s said to be the spirits of your ancestors giving your strength and makes you feel super lol which is why the emotions go High

[@RealFansSports]

Thank you for checking out the video. Nonpfixion here and I definitely felt something my friend.

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

Australia and New Zealand have a culture. They have song, dance, food and they are proud of it. The US on the other hand has, Levi's jeans, McDonalds, guns, mass shootings and bombs. We might poke fun at each other, but if push comes to shove, we are there for each other.

[@dannjp75]

Nothing like a Haka to send shivers down your spine.

[@RealFansSports]

So very true - Nonpfixion

[@georgemcnaughton7839]

Thank you brothers from the others

[@RealFansSports]

Much love man!

[@jgsheehan8810]

Tonga vs Samoa and either vs NZ Kiwis in Rugby League Test matches are really good too. Fiji does a hymn, which is excellent. BTW the Indigenous Australians have done a few different versions of the War Cry in these matches over the years.

[@teresataakate-kaute5938]

We as Maori don't just come from Hawaii we originate from the 12 Tribes of Israel. We are known by the hebrew/Jewish Isralites as the Children of the mist. Today they exspress we are the true Isralites because there bloodlines have been watered down as with us Maori tangata/people our bloodlines were're contaminated through the english when the descoveredour whenua/land by raping our woman and daughters only in the last 200 years. no one knew we existed but the Isralites themselves. They actually protected us.

[@RealFansSports]

Thanks for the history lesson. This definitely gives us a deeper appreciation for the culture and all that goes with it.

[@teillukashow]

They would lay down a fern branch after the haka if you picked up peace if you walked over challenge. . IF YOU WANA SEE SOMETHING DOPE LOOK UP THE SHORT FILMS FESTIVAL " THE HAKA" about the moari at ww.. so good. I'm Anglo-Saxon Aussie and part Waridjuri Indigenous. Thanks guys

That's so interesting to hear but it makes sense in the whole mythos of it all. Thank you for enlightening us on those facts.

[@bitey6709]

I remember watching this at the time and thought it very disrespectful that the home team brought weapons onto the field of play when the other team never has.

[@johnoxley1946]

The aussie indigenous guys are carrying a spear and a nulla nulla. The nulla nulla is used to throw the spear. When teh indigenous guys were advancing you would have noticed that those who had both a spear and nulla nulla had the spear lodged in the end of the nulla nulla not being held. That is how they were able to throw their spears so far.
