He is the Main Man 🏉💯

[@SandyAntipas]

I think the final one was the very first performance of Kapa o Pango. Took everyone by surprise! Was so intense and electrified the later minutes which needed something special as the All Blacks returned from South Africa with a loss to the Springboks in Capetown earlier that month. A hard fought win in Carisbrook was like wrong footing someone in basketball and sinking a basket.

[@danieln6700]

It was cool seeing it live

[@AnAfinityForKarma]

Tana Umaga for me, that Haka is just insane... The intensity and passion.. Imagine facing that in war hundreds of years ago.

[@AnAfinityForKarma]

[@WeissVogel]

Tana was a killer. I had a laugh with Planet Rugby making spoofs of players and Tana was compared to the Predator. And of course he led the team that introduced Kapa o Pango

[@skollybob]

@@AnAfinityForKarma nah

[@dmill9020]

TJ is my personal fav. Regardless of who you think is best. He looks absolutely possessed and psychotic. And I’m here for it.

[@johncreedon7847]

Weepu for me. He hits those crazy notes others can't

[@jah211084]

100%

[@slambo70]

Fair call, I reckon he is the best leader

[@FareedLoyiso]

Perenara for me

[@jameslana9432]

Definitely the last one. It was so intense and full of passion. Anyhow, all performances gives the goosebumps.

[@joememphis1571]

Tana Umaga’s Haka was the most special as he was the first non Māori to lead any haka. He is the son of Samoan migrants to New Zealand.

[@LucasCaaman]

And he looked more maori than any other

[@Jockuptown]

@@LucasCaaman nah, tana looks so Samoan what you on about? Piri Weepu def has the most traditional Māori look about him, man's hitting all the facial features

[@joememphis1571]

​@rmart9344 it will be Aaron Smith for most of them

[@manologocho]

The last was the best performance of tana Umaga simple AMAZING cheers from Mérida Venezuela love this haka.

[@a.a.h.s.2345]

Umaga and Messam were awesome but Weepu was always ultimate to me. He just hit the right notes in every way for me.

[@steel2572]

Liam had the best voice. Piri has the best facial expressions. Tana had the best body expressions.

[@MrKelso85]

I love Peri Weepu doing it as he really encapsulates the Maori look

[@dylanmoffitt6758]

The third guys voice is my favourite. The back slap moment is awesome

[@RugbyZone]

I’d have to agree! 🔥

[@Daniel-ld7xs]

Mine too! His tone is so piercing and raspy and so eerie. Do you know what's his name?

[@Daniel-ld7xs]

[@jakeblackwell1983]

Tanas was the best for me and, of course, the first time Kapo O Pango was done was against us their greatest rivals and fellow goats of rugby the Springboks

[@FXG888]

It gives me a goosebump when TJ lead the first Haka,it was like you're going to war

[@j0esh91]

Always admired how McCaw never seemed to lose eye contact with whoever he chose to stare down during the haka.

[@pat1589]

What? McCaw would be the last one you'd want to watch doing the haka.

[@locominyana8916]

​@@pat1589no way...fk he was on.

[@robertocamposjunior]

Kapa o Pango is always the most intense haka. Very intense.

[@SeanGray-b1l]

Piri Weepu And TJ Perenara Are My Favourites To Lead The Haka (Kapa O Pango). I'm South African, Have A Passion For The Haka.

[@RugbyZone]

[@alternatehistorysports]

Perenara is the best here in my opinion. You feel like the others could be reasoned with, but he has that death stare.. I'm sure he's a nice chap though, if he reads this please don't klill me 😆😆

[@alternatehistorysports]

Maybe a bit late to be starting traditions, but there's a pretty awesome Zulu war dance, it could be crazy to put that on at the start of a game with the All Blacks in South Africa (or Samoa, Tonga, Fiji). Get the whole crowd to do the chant

[@beazjohnson9865]

I think that last one with Tana is the first time they performed Kapa o Pango.

[@gerhardvanrooyen8197]

Gggggggggggg

[@WeissVogel]

It was. That was epic when i first saw the clip back in 2006, sometime after he retired from Test duty.

[@andrechalmers]

It was the first and only time against the spring boks. Tana only led it one other time kapa o pango and that was against England

[@willhopley]

Umaga had that incredible intensity that was unrivalled but Piri Weepu is my favourite

[@RoyJones.]

Piri Weepus face always looks intimidating to me so he's the best😂❤

[@brianwahinya1245]

Put aside any favourite player or Super rugby team biases and there's literally no debate..Piri Weepu is MR HAKA..Unmatched vocal chords,patience,facial expressions and body movements. Liam Messam 2nd Tana's one was raw passion which made it its own kind of special,but Piri is the GOAT Credit to TJ 4 taking up the responsibility and his passion but he honestly didn't have the voice for it

[@jeekels]

My God it's worth following Rugby just to hear those thigh slaps !!

[@ZoltanMarossy]

I guess? 😂

[@Edu-B.A]

I miss Rico Gear...he did it awesome too

[@gustavocollantes774]

The days when the Haka was scary. You can see how the leader inspires the intensity to levels you just don't see today. I love Aaron as a player, but never understood why he is leading the Haka; he is just too nice :) Plus I am not a fan of the triangular formation. Would love to hear the thoughts of Kiwis out there (I'm not).

[@ollie9619]

Often thought if I was getting off a ship and saw these I’d pull up anchor and scarper

@@fyoutube9410haka is not just for war, haka can be even for weddings. For funerals, it can be performed in various occasions, there are many Haka, with different lyrics, meanings and purposes

[@sarahsinai5381]

@@marinagiuliarazza6628 So many people don’t realise this. I’m a Kiwi living in Australia, and an Australian was saying he thinks the haka shouldn’t be allowed to be performed before games because it’s just a show of violence, etc. I may be Pākeha, but man, did I (assertively) school him on this topic 😅😂 he had no response, of course.

[@aabhushanrajthala]

I love the Haka. I started watching some the videos recently and I watch rugby as well now. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME? In this video, Haka is performed, but there are different types and different lyrics.
