    Haka

    Watched the Rugby League test last night. As usual the Kiwi's performed the Haka pre game.

    What do you think of the Haka?

    Personally I love watching it, particularly the passion exhibited by the Maori's when they make their eyes pop out & poke out their tongue.

    Here are the words:

    Ringa pakia
    Uma tiraha
    Turi whatia
    Hope whai ake
    Waewae takahia kia kino

    Ka Mate! Ka Mate!
    Ka Ora! Ka Ora!
    Tenei te ta ngata puhuru huru
    Nana nei i tiki mai
    Whakawhiti te ra
    A upane ka upane!
    A upane kaupane whiti te ra!
    Hi!!

    Here's the vid to if you want to see the Haka.

    Re: Haka

    I did a team building class at James Hardie and we were taught the Haka, absolutely brilliant.
    There are different ones depending on where you come from, Tonga have one also.
    Its better than a national anthem as its just full on and it is driven by you personally and brings pride into you, which is what a national anthem should do.
    Sorry people but our (The Aussie one) Anthem really sucks.
    I saw Adam Hills do ours to working class man, although it was meant as a bit of a joke it was brilliant and he sang it as a national anthem should be sung , with oomph and spirit.
    Bring on an Aussie Haka i say.
    Bring back the biff

          I absolutely love the Haka.

          This is a video from the 2003 World Cup, where the NZ Haka is matched by the Tongan Sipi Tau.

          I love the look on Kees Meuwes' face when the All Blacks finish the Haka.

          Try standing in the middle of that without being just a little bit edgy.

            Has anyone simply laughed at them?

            Or is that like asking Curtley Ambrose to remove his sweatband? (How uptight was that guy?)

              I love the passion and intensity they put into it.

              Moreseo the Allblacks than the league squad. In League it seems a bit spiritless.

                Love the Haka.

                Was in Scotland a couple of years ago and our tour guide taught us his version:

                Come to me
                Come to me
                Nessie Nessie

                Come to me
                Come to me
                Nessie Nessie

                Ohhhh come to me
                Ohhhh come to me

                His idea of how to attract Nessie of Loch(Lake) Ness and he was a riot.

                cheers,

                Jaxs


                ps:A great tour guide can make or break your trip.
