i'm just getting into the rugby sport (as a viewer casue we have nothing like that here in the states) and am wondering what this looks like in person......

 

any insights on this.

 

that actually hasn't got anything to do with rugby, it's the New Zealanders "Haka" the traditional dance of the maori people.

It's sort of instead of the national anthem for NZ. Cool huh!

avid rugby fan :y:

Traditional war dance, intended to instil fear and awe into the hearts of the enemy.

Kind of fitting before a rugby match.

that's for sure its such an intimidating site

I went to the bledslow a few years ago and the NZ guys even made me S%$# my pants LOL...

its become such a part of Union now that it would be sad to see those bloody goody-two-shoes ban it.... It would be like having the and poo and nothing coming out your backside....
