International
The players roar at each other before the game begins.
Yes so proud to say thats my team (ALL BLACKS) We have alittle country (NEW ZEALAND) but got the worlds best Rugby Union team. The HAKA is a traditional maori war dance, its to put off the opposition and hopefully win the game (sorry to say .. we thrashed Tonga)Only the men can perform this ritual.

By cardiffmc 1150575850 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit's an ancient ritual from that part of the world, not only meant to intimidate enemies/foes, but also a sign of respect for them as worthy adversaries. they scream to bolster they own courage, get it?
By boscolee 1137713022 Reply Spam [+3] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThats true they do the haka for those reasons too and to imtimadate they enemies
By Kawika Hokulani 1139358425 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWhat point do you idiots make by arguing over sports/ nationality? What point is proven?
It never fails; post a video and somewhere someone will make a derogatory rmark about nationality or someone else's preference. COMMENT ON THE VIDEO!!!! For all your effort and wit you have shown that we live in a world eaten up with racist bigots.
Are some level headed people left on Earth, and if your hate the racist bigots you become one. Love and Pray for them. Show them how to love and they will understand, if you hate them in return you give them more self- justification.

By Marco Polo 1137461045 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAll Blacks have always had great players and because of this, they have provided a great team. Half of the team is polynesian mixed with Samoan, TONGAN and Fijian.
The Tongan team don't have the opportunity to have players like the All Blacks and even so they aint scared of nothing and they still Go HARD! Hence their Tongan saying "Fear no man and don't Fear Death" and that counts for something
Plus half of the Tongan team probably work as plantaion workers and still have the courage and Pride to go fourth to Represent!
So I respect them both!
Both are Awesome!!!
this one is not as good as others ive seen, ithink because its rushed with th tongan performance,, but still good show
By Willyboi 1183980440 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei'm from argentina, we have great rugby here, we've beaten the best a few times, but never the all blacks, we've only been close a couple of times. I wish they could keep up in the world cup, i don't understand why they don't win there.
Ireland, we'll kick your ass!!! hahaha just kidding, i love everybody!
thats cool... i just didnt know that choreography was part of a rugby player's training

By klimaX 1140084181 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeok, they were good for a while, but I believe there was a little rugby union competition a while ago, what was it called... oh yeah, the world cup. Didn't England win that? Beating the Australians 21-17 in the final? sorry I can't really remember. ;)
By geordiedan 1137951004 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethen the kiwis kicked the lions arses,then toured and beat everyone including the mighty England at HOME!!!

By Gas 1137687195 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI play AFL and Union(which is shown on the vid) and what some people call "dance" is something more than that, it's pride for your nation, pride for your team and to play for your country and fight(doesn't have to be war) earns players resept in their country and what's not a better way than sport, i'm sure war is very pointless. anyways i play AFL for club and school, each game i play i run on average 7km or 4.3miles being a center player, in union is very tough getting back up after getting hit into the ground and the play of the ball doesn't wait for you to get up. i'm not sure what NFL is like but thats the story on AFL( Australia Football) and Union
By Mike4sure 1137636714 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveComparing American Football to Rugby is like comparing apples and oranges. I am American, I played football in highschool and rugby in college. They both are gruelling sports, but I have to say that all in all, Rugby requires more strength, endurance, coordiination and overall athleticism than American football.
and btw..... THE ALL BLACKS F**kING RULE!!
if u listen carefully when the bloke in red jumps up at the end, i sewar he has a squeak out.

By ChipX 1137622838 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removerugby players are extremely tough. and they do get broken up a bit too. but they don't cry about it like our football players here do. For example Brett Farve, now there's a cry baby.
By dougiefresh27 1137509771 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI will concur that these players, as well as Australian Rules Football players are far tougher than the majority of American football players. But your disparaging of Brett Favre is way off-base. No one has had more consecutive starts at quarterback then he has - even with the beatings he's taken AND personal tragedies that he has bounced back from. One only needs to look at his Monday night football performance against the Raiders less than two days after his father and mentor died to see his toughness. Cry baby, not quite. You must be a Viking fan . . .

By Tiwana 1137431868 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIm from the UK and played rugby at high school. Fantastic game....BUT!! You simply can't compare the two types. Quite simply american footballers weigh 300lbs! Even without padding a british rugby player would quite simply get crushed whether u like it or not, its like me standing in front of a car moving at speed and stating...I'll stop the car and not move an inch!
By CrazyLegs 1137643411 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou think the guys in this video would be crushed by an american footballer? these guys are pretty well built and I don't think you can really say rugby players and american football players that play at the same level have a different built.
By KX36 1137703075 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI agree, i think 'georiedan' has hit the nail on the head. At the end of the day the two games are different but all the same entertaining :D.
By CrazyLegs 1137757409 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe difference between the two games is in the tackle. it looks like the americans hit harder coz they tackle high, but because thats above your centre of gravity, youll get absolutely creamed. the NFL players are massive and are really looking to deck each other, so hitting high means its easier to knock the other over. in rugby, the tackle's low, its easier to tackle, but you actually have to tackle harder and its a safe way of tackling, so no padding needed. you try high tackling someone in rugby, there'll be a few broken necks, that's why its a sending off offence
but rugby players are just as tough and versatile than americans, and the hits are just as hard; that Somoan up-ending England's Mark Cueto into a somersault about 9 feet in the air'll show u that. funny as hell when Moody came and took a swing at the Samoan. rugby's a yob's game played by gentleman, American Football's a load of mean bastards trying to kill each other. Rugby's still better by miles tho. ;)
And the Haka is pretty intimidating, specially if its performed by 15 stocky New Zealanders
British, but play American football
Coaches in A-ball teach their players to tackle low, not high, and the majority of players will hit low because a player can't run without their legs, so that's wrong. Why would you tackle a 250lb Running Back or Tight End high, where most of his muscle is built up?? Your comment makes no sense
yeah but you're still allowed to tackle high right? so that makes it more dangerous. and if you tackle higher, its like a lever so its easier to push, specially if your going fast. i dunno about american football really, but from watching it it seems like the harder hits come from hitting higher, hence protection
