They were literally making fun of them and almost humiliating them with the wolf 🐺 voices lmfao

​​​@@Zergul_Zaiyou idiot. Those 'wolf noises' are from the Samoan uso's cheering their team 🤦‍♂️ how embarrassing of you, you've clearly never been to a rugby game with other Pacific Islanders Also your other comment is hidden but I can see it on your profile.

[@lekaoforty.726]

I dont understand why other nations criticise the pacific when they COULD do their own, just dont make sense 😹

[@MusMasi]

Too bad their level of play during the match was not spine tingling in a good way. Maybe we should change it to that they are only allowed to do the Siva Tau after the match and only if they win?

[@lekaoforty.726]

Sole it's a challenge, why would they want to initmidate/challenge the opponents after they won? 🤣

[@francelewiss7030]

A war dance is not meant to scare or imitate anyone but a way of showing respect and letting the other team know that you accept the challeng, you must be plastic islander since you don't know what the true meaning of the Pacific war dance

[@alelokaoseumu]

siva tau is performed whether they win or lose, nothing wrong with that

this is not a haka, and any team can do their cultural challenge.

[@tatemericanpsycho]

Clowns. The best way to deal with these clown show dances is to remain in the changing room until they end.

[@MusMasi]

what about the players who do not want to stay in the changing rooms? Not everyone thinks like how you do, sure if most of a team wants to do that fine do that.

[@petes9524]

Seems to me, macho war dances should happen after victory. Before a losing game they become a little comical

[@francescogaudenzi8232]

No they don't, in war you try to intimidate your opponent before the battle, not after

These "macho war dances" as you say, are part of oceanic culture for centuries, show some respect.

Sorry they don't have culture or traditions in the Netherlands. But we do.

[@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns]

I know this might offend someone here but sometimes I just think that all this shouting before a game is ridiculous and especially if you can't back it up. Japan weren't fazed by it one bit. Japan beat them comfortably. Same goes for Tonga and even sometimes the All Blacks. These 'war cries' are hilarious to watch. There's nothing 'scary' or 'intimidating' about them😂🤣 Whenever these Pacific Island nations play in South Africa, the crowd usually drowns them out. The national anthems are enough. This is just comedy😄

[@lekaoforty.726]

No one cares about what you think, its a cultural practice. No matter how you feel, it's gonna happen otherwise, and there's nothing wrong with expressing your culture, even taking it further than the anthem itself. Move on now.

[@lekaoforty.726]

@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns because you people be disrespecting the ancient rituals over nothing 😹 acting as if we care about winning or losing, still hold it down for our people at the end of the day

[@alelokaoseumu]

It is because you have no culture. Your people in South Africa were invaders. You come from people who don't know where home is, so you live on other people's lands. White people are not natives to South Africa, sorry. That is why you are against any showing of culture because your country is like that. Your people tried to suppress the black indigenous culture but then you see other indigenous nations dominating a sport and you don't like it. Whoops 😂. Win or lose, haka or siva tau will always be performed. No one finds it comical other than people who aren't used to socializing with other people outside their ethnicity

[@arielsegieda4209]

I have to admit, when i was younger, the "war dances" like Haka, Sipi Tau and the likes, seemed to me one of the most amazing things of the match. Now that im getting older, they actually give me cringes

[@e.t.h.559]

It's unfortunate. Your younger self seemed to have enjoyed & appreciate culture and the world better than your adult self. Hope you find that joy again, man.
