It does not matter what anyone says, the HAKA is the most precious and honorable show of sportsmanship in the rugby world, well done NZ from a fellow South African, well done
Aron was so apreciative of that Haka .you could see the emotion in his face . Fully deserved that honor a great player i have enjoyed watching his exceptional talent and skill .
I'm not a New Zealander nor am I an All Blacks supporter but the passion shown and the culture within all the teams and players is something that earns alot of respect and admiration.

Aku no Cookie, because you felt the mana from this haka as it was carried out with full conviction in honour of a brilliant half-back. I envy NZ for having the haka. The early Christian missionaries tried their best to eradicate the haka but to no avail (God wasn’t going to let that happen).
Great player always enjoy watching him play rugby, but I don't think he's the halfback out there. The Irish have had a few good ones over the years 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Respect from South Africa ✊🇿🇦 Great player and a very emotional haka. Loved seeing this man play. Truly one of the best and most entertaining halfbacks ever.
Don't understand that the language or the culture let alone the haka but I have tears in my eyes. Thank you Aaron for you contribution to Super Rugby and the world of rugby.Looking forward to see you shine one last time at RWC.
That haka was awesome best one I’ve seen ever.. gave me goose bumps.. Awesome stuff Aaron u deserve it, one of the best halfbacks ever to play for the AB’s.. All the best Champ.. 😉😉👍
Congratulations Aaron. A huge lump I'm my throat watching this grand & heartfelt Haka for You from the Southern Men. From a Southlander living in Cape Town. X
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, and for a Warrior of such a high standard. Only the Aotearoa Super Teams know how to honour their Warriors culturally, spiritually and completely! Tina, Tina, TINANA.
It wasn't one of those types of haka. It was more about paying homage to a great player. You see haka generally have several functions, and that was one of them.
Aaron smith so inspires me to fight my battle for my dreams...He is a genuine rugby player...for him rugby is not just a game but for wat he is....only reason for me to cheer for the landers..Win or Lose its gonna be highlanders for me...
very beautiful haka, and very beautiful video sharing filled with emotions of culture, traditions to at the height of a very great player. Thank you !!! a French fan ...
My friend, I hope the second half of your time with the highlanders is as productive as the first. Or wasvtgis one third mark? Quarter? May you have a wonderfully long career! From a welsh rugby fan....

To much bro New Zealand rugby will miss the passion you bring to the game one of a kind player good luck to you and your family for the future 👍
Respect. Aaron Smith one of the worlds finest halfback.
the best ever not one of
finally the correct terminology "one of" -- he is clearly not anymore.... but I hear he can work wonders in a bathroom stall still
@@toiletsmithy3630 at least you can admit dupont is vastly better than Smith. There may be hope for you yet.
@@lamelamelame3 Better than Smith ? 😂.
He hasn't played more 10 games or won a Six Nation and yet they choked against Scotland & England.
@@lamelamelame3 wrong, Smith is the best half back of all time, end of
Tough Haka! Congrats Brother great achievement
Nugs, this was truly special. For a special rugby player.
Respect to that man. What a great player.
Awesome, Respect and congratulations🙏🙏🤜🤛🏉.

I like this. It reminds me of our Zulu regiments when they do their stuff especially when they are in a ceremony.
I totally agree with Jason. This culture is incredible !!
A great rugby player.. great respect.. really earns ...
This is very emotional for Aaron, sure, but man, Ash Dixon gives me chills with every haka he leads
