So strange seeing Halfpenny in the Haka after so long standing on the other side of it! All the best to him for the rest of his playing days. A Welsh rugby legend!

It's great to see him embracing the culture! 👏👏👏👏

[@ericfitzgerald4755]

Really cool to see this live in Páirc Uí Chaoimh! Thanks to the Crusaders for a class game.

[@default5790]

Onya Leigh Halfpenny! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@kamelidianivai8338]

Leigh Halfpenny❤❤

[@conorcahill5422]

I must be honest. I can't take my eyes off of Leigh Halfpenny doing the Haka, when he's a Welshman lol. It's so unusual seeing a European doing a Maori-style war dance. A rarity, even. Not that it was a bad thing mind!

[@Sunflower-dt6ev]

Rarity? European Kiwis do the haka often. All races in NZ do it. YT is full of schools doing it before 1st XV matches, etc etc blah blah blah.

[@conorcahill5422]

@@Sunflower-dt6ev European Kiwis doesn't mean the same as a European that has no Maori ancestry whatsoever. Obviously Halfpenny is Welsh and a fully fledged European.

[@Sunflower-dt6ev]

@conorcahill5422 Kiwi Europeans have zero Maori ancestry mate. But I see what you mean. But like I say, hardly a rarity, the rarity is probably more that we hardly get any players moving down here from the NH. When they do, they are required to learn the culture, which may or may not include a team haka.

I was at that match

Goosebumps!!!

CRUSADER HAKA OUT THE HORSE 😂

[@mykel4594]

Since when do the crusaders do the Haka?

[@brennybi]

They do it on special occasions like when they played the British Lions

[@ibringtherain7669]

The Mighty Chiefs of the Waikato Haka is the best of them all💪

[@ManaBlack208]

They didn't do it at all last year so no good having a mean haka wen it's not even used,their preseason game yesterday was a disaster wont be winning that first game against the crusaders,no way.

[@ibringtherain7669]

@@ManaBlack208 it don’t mean nothing to either do it during the season or not mate. I’m stating that The Chiefs Haka is the better of all Super Rugby Hakas Lad💪 doing it or not don’t mean you gonna win games🤦‍♂️

[@ManaBlack208]

@ibringtherain7669 Yeah I like the Chiefs haka the most too and sorry bud I didn't realize they did it before the game yesterday

[@Sunflower-dt6ev]

It's not a competition, buddy. It's the words that are important. Both haka are statements of identity & connection to land & people.

[@dadofchampions]

Gee was that Munsters first game of the season too?

[@conor_king]

No. The season starts in September.

[@dadofchampions]

@@conor_kingSheesh, that would have been this Crusader outfits first hit-out of the season I think. Not a bad effort against boys half-way through their season.

[@conor_king]

@@dadofchampions Yep. You could make the same point about NH teams competing at the World Cup, but SH teams always disregard it when used in that scenario 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@dadofchampions]

Hmmm dont think Nth World Cup teams enter the tournament with ZERO games under their belts but there you Irish fans go trying to ‘equivocate’ again. Reading all the Irish banter in here about world club champs and little is being said about the fact the Munster boys were halfway through their season sneaking a win against a team playing their first PRE-season game.

[@conor_king]

@@dadofchampionsThe NH season starts just when the WC starts. Pipe down. You haven’t a clue.

[@lesterwyoung]

I can do without another bloody haka!

[@dadofchampions]

Sheesh. Didnt realise Nth teams enter a World Cup with ZERO games under their belts. This was the Crusaders FIRST hit-out of their season.
