To see the haka performed so well by the whole team (Māori, Pacifika, European), and then to receive affirmation from across the world is such a credit to our Women. Most of the Māori women in the team have been nurtured in our Maori culture - it 100% makes a difference to the delivery - and even the content. For our international viewers - The beginning part was a welcome to our visitors (with no irony intended related to the contest about to start) - this was spectacular. These words only make sense when you are speaking as 'home people' - so this part is unlikely to be performed overseas.....And when the haka is delivered like this there is no translation needed for the second part (lol).

[@dallashibbs6540]

@Hamish Banish I like the equality ideals of a good contest too. I do think culture can make an event or occasion a little more memorable - especially if it is authentic and honours the contest- think big marching bands that play before grid iron games in the US or the elaborate ceremony before Thai kickboxing contests. Most visiting teams / athletes/ fans savour the experience. Try talking to the Irish team / fans that defeated the All blacks in 2022 - they rate the series win as the single most significant moment in their 120 years of playing test rugby.

Every time I hear people scream about cultural appropriation, every time I hear people complain about the plight of indigenous peoples, I think about this. We could have shared our cultures. We could have come together and allowed ourselves to be friends, allies, and fellows. No, the Maori journey wasn't perfect. I can't think of any people's which has. But I'm from the American Midwest, and it saddens me that we've not been able to preserve native culture more, that we've not made a better effort to integrate their nations into ours, but instead, we kick them off into reservations, and frankly many of them want to stay there and keep "fighting" a centuries-old resistance. Culture only continues if you share it. Thank goodness, the Maori found the wisdom to share theirs. What an amazingly powerful and beautiful thing to watch!

The were 17-0 down to Australia in that game and the came back to win it. That started their RWC 2021 campaign which ended in NZL beating England 34-31 in final. The Black Ferns are the greatest women team to ever play the game. My favourite Stacey Fluhler (Waaka) played a match winning game scoring an excellent try and setting up the match winning try. She is an icon 🥰

It was powerful and beautiful. Actually first women’s Haka I’ve ever seen. I loved the expressions and unison and singing voices. Also loved that it was a clearly multicultural team. Bravo!

love and cuddle from HK.respect haka ladies. saw many times in Rugby 7s..goosebumps everytime ❤❤❤

[@denovo1148]

I came here after New Zealand ministers haka, I am not able to understand but certainly it fires you up !!

[@SithCelia]

This is next-level, alright. Every video of the haka that I get to watch is moving. There's something so primal and awe-inspiring about how deep into it everyone gets. It's also interesting to note the formation of the Australian team and how they moved together with their arms around each other. Gotta watch that one again.

[@brutismaximus1]

A lot of comments mentioning goosebumps. An interesting fact about humans getting goosebumps in the absence of cold. Is that when we were primates covered in hair and confronted by a predator the goosebumps caused the hair to puff out to make you look bigger and more intimidating. In the hope that the predator would back down. Strange that the Maori haka invokes such a response. Can't think of another cultural performance that does that.

[@Rotavegas1]

in Maori terms when one gets "goosebumps or feels that prickly sensation over your body its the connection to the spiritual realm opening...with all the Tupana (ancestors) making themselves known that they are beside you

[@verifiedinthestreets9023]

Plenty.... get more cultured....

[@mikelnomikos]

Mate, you've hit on the trans-cultural and lingual power of the haka - it's a somewhat unique phenomena, all that goosebumps business. Interestingly, primates also experience what you described in situations which are considered by humans to be 'awe-inspiring' (near places of extraordinary natural beauty for example).

I find it embarrassing and childish I can't look at it and it also didn't work against the brittish when they just took their land.

[@brutismaximus1]

@@ac-qd2cg What's childish about a cultural performance? Do you find other cultures childish? As far as I know cultures are mainly influenced by adults and passed down. A pretty pathetic and uneducated comment. The British didn't win the NZ war. A treaty was signed as a truce. Maori also virtually gave away land in exchange for European resources. Some tribes were vacated from their land based on British laws and sanctions. Also, it's spelt British, not brittish.

Āe it's the best of all time, with the all stars of women's rugby at the time. Hearty!

Seeing this really makes me emotional. It’s beautiful, scary and so in tune with one another.
