That shite had to be intimidating as frick back in the day. I bet the Europeans that squared off with those guys hundreds of years ago weren't thrilled.

The best Hakas are the ones you see live and I've seen a few.
But in 3 days, I will witness my first NZ Allblacks Haka in Edinburg. Its going to be unreal! KA MATE KA MATE KA ORA!

That is New Zealand culture. Its what they grow up with. It is what they do.
Much different than some US High School doing it because they think it is cool.

I've always wondered how Johah Lomu would have done in the NFL.
Just saw the vid of them doing the Haka for his funeral.

That Man is a National Treasure.
As much fun as he is to watch running with the ball, my guess is he would project higher as a DE or LB over RB.

It was implied in the quote above. You just have to read between the lines or have esoteric knowledge of NZ football.

It wasn't said about the New Zealanders but this quote comes to mind from the British, "Whatever happens, we have got the Maxim, and they have not."
Doubt they would've gotten through more than one or two chest slaps before they were mowed down.

The Haka was probably real intimidating until the Euros realized the guys doing it brought spears to a gunfight.

Yeah, that's great until you have to reload your musket. I wouldn't want to go hand to hand with those dudes.

No need, mate. No need. They turned and fled when they experienced gunfire in battle and saw their comrades fall in agony. Not as brave as they pretend to be, really.

That's because the Maori, like all minorities, were more concerned with art, literature, peace, and poetry, and had no concept of the industrialized killing machines that while people dreamed up
