Its a bit wierd they are the only team with that kind of "tradition"

it's funny when you see the whiteys do it

Not really. Other pacific island teams have similar choreographies. For instance, whenever NZ faces Tonga, these do their own dance

glad the fucking losers in their cricket team don't do it

that'd be a fucking joke, especially when the only islander that plays for them is from samoa

Came into the thread expecting an American OP, still not surprised tho.

I'm sorry your country can't excel in the sport it created - then again, I'm sure England's used to that feeling.

Is your team losing mate?

Casual

chur bru how's life on the gold coast eh? Sweet as?

I much prefer the english version

Aww idk bru cuz I don't actually live their hey.

Up 2 skuxx mouldi tho

>le moooooosleeems

ah yes

t. 1 win against us in the past 6 years

yes it's meant to scare the other team and yes it does scare them

Does it though? Does it really?

In test matches we have 6 losses since 2010 and won the last two world cups so maybe

Eat less, exercise more, OP. I'm sure it'll work out for you.

>has the other team ever just laughed?

I don't know, but they were some who just looked at it with a "what the fuck is going on" stares.

how come ignoring it is "disrespectful" then judging by the comments on this vid youtube.com/watch?v=lyjf4mzfcxU
if the opponent is doing a silly dance to scare you why shouldn't you just ignore it?

Maybe you're simply better than your opponents.

You could say that

because it's a sacred tradition. that's why people get offended when others don't respect and watch it.

delet this

You could make it a sacred tradition to burn a New Zeeland flag on the pitch before every game and make them watch you.

you could try but the way the world is nowadays that's a bit too extreme

those just look like weed faces

One could argue performing a war dance before playing a literal game is kind of overdoing it, too.

>Americans

how do you want them to react?

The Haka itself is pretty cool, this is mental

i feel like that's different to burning a flag.

>All blacks
>team full of white guys with some Mexicans

It would basically be burning the British flag+addons so it's not as bad as it might sound. Billions of peaceful muslims do it every day.

...

exactly. burning a flag is far more offensive than doing a war dance.

>with some Mexicans

This

We Wuz

yeah there's not one African-American on the team. Its like Rachel Dolezal but the sports version.

imagine curry and harden doing dressed in full native american clothes dancing like that

we wuz cherokee and shiet

...

>USA went on to win 98-71

Kek

I don't like the new one, wish they would go back to the Ka Mate haka.

Most teams have rituals like that to get themselves pumped up before the game, or to "come down" afterwards. Most of the time they involve autistic screaming, awkward jumping around and speeches, it's just that New Zealand is the only team that does it in the open.

It's cringe when any team but the All Blacks does it but as far as international rugby union goes it's a century old tradition and I'd be pretty mad if they tried to end it because the other teams are jealous they don't have a marketable gimmick

>muh little dance
youtube.com/watch?v=htCTWZqCMhQ

your NT is mostly white and white guys doing that dance look silly as hell

And silly white guys have been doing it before your greatgrandparents were born faggot, the ka mate haka is a rugby tradition not a maori one

just because you've been doing it for a long time it doesn't mean it isn't silly as hell

that's kinda cool

they could just dance like an egyptian

WE

Still mad about that stolen 2011 WC

savage

>Black Americans shocked black culture in other countries consists of something else than showing off gold necklaces and robbing 7-11

bait

kek

All this projection and not a single argument to be found. Sorry your "sport" got called out for one of, if not the most, cringey thing in existence. Embarrassing that you defend it.

underrated

the whole 'sport' is fucking cringe, nobody actually watches accountant-grope

>Turkey letting the kiwis do their stupid dance without caring

Is the whiteness of Rugby, dare I say it, problematic?

War cries are effective

Americans know this, this is why they are good at commerce

BOKKE

weekly reminder that one man beat the all blacks

>only country

>Samoa
>Tonga
>Fiji

Transnistria is more of a country than these floating polynesian theme parks.
