it's a shame that you can't see that they actually respond to each other... like it's not just two single things, it's actually a "conversation"

[@katherinekolthoff9599]

Very astute observation. I would have liked to observe the faces of both sides during their respective displays. It's always amazing and impressive that these traditions have found such an iconic niche in the modern world, but it is even moreso when you realize these are mechanisms of not simple intimidation, but /communication/. I loved seeing them in juxtaposition here. Truly incredible!

[@ViaVirtus]

There was a video up once upon a time where the All Blacks started the Ka Mate and Tonga IMMEDIATELY lept the line to like midfield and started the Sipi Tau. The crowd went BERSERK!

somehow I think the sipi tau is scarier, but that's just me I guess

[@samsmith3727]

You're right

[@MrTreraygibson]

To be fair their haka was preformed by a bunch of white guys.

[@SMTS1159]

actually they're not all white. They're mixed with Maori

[@wilhard45]

@salil -- Perhaps because you have seen the Haka over and over and over. The sipi tau is not seen all that often. Perhaps familiarity lessens the impact? Don't forget the Samoans have their own version, the siva tau, and there is always the Australian Indigenous War Dance. Then again, the haka performed by the All Blacks changes from year to year. Some years are better than others. just my 2 cents worth.

[@aoteagirl60]

and it is 2c worth - tell me all the different hakas the abs have performed eh? apart from kamate and kapa o pango - "changes from year to year" obviously only in your head????
