rahowhero yes, everything is in its place, when u tremble u just need to show it, like they do playing with fingers, when your knees get weak just squat like they do and press hard leg muscles, to get any thoughts out of mind do like they do - goggle, stick out your toung and shout
It’s about building there spiritual strength and at the same time lower there spiritual strength. That’s called getting mental edge, but then you’ve got to put it in practice on the paddock. But remember it’s more about demonstrating that this is a clash and they’re prepared to give it there all. It’s not about or solely about victory.
0:59 imagine being back in ww2 and in the dead of the night, hearing that noise in all directions coming at you. that was the maori battalion. BLEEEEEEH
Hosea Gear is the bomb diggity! Maori people are always representing their culture and i love that! I may be Samoan,German and Chinese..but the passion I see in the Maori people and in the Haka always gets me!! Love it!! Hosea Gear did AWESOME in leading this haka..as well as the rest of the team;) Huge fan of Hosea Gear!!!
How can anyone put this down? I'm a german/english/irish guy from the United States and I love it everytime I see it. Tradition is a great thing and it's awesome that they allow all the players to do this no matter what their ethnicity is. I am all for keeping up on the traditions of the native people, you can't live in the past but you can appreciate it.
man this teams stacked, better then the maori team we have today. its a young team with alot of potental i hope . . . no i know that maori rugby will come through and the boys will continue to carve it up, current maori all blacks in the abs are arron crudden aron smith dane coles rayn crotty ben smith joe moody cory jane and dagg. keep up the good work family
The All blacks BRAND depicts quality and high standards.It is a shame they belittle the haka and themselves when they don't perform it to this high standard regularly.Well done Hosea Gear and The team of the day,you make us proud to be Kiwi! when you throw down the gauntlet like that!
This is an awesome video. I love the Haka war dance and I love how nervous the Irish look while watching this dance. Almost makes me want to watch a soccer match. Almost.
I grew up in the U.S no exposure to Rugby whatsoever played our football. About a year ago I seen a match on TV with the All Blacks they did the Haka I was pumped before I even knew the game. Now I play rugby and wish I had started years ago Its the best physically competitive sport in the world. I prefer the union version but both are great. America needs to get with the ruck.
"We are the All Blacks, of the New Zealand people." "We stand on this field arrayed for battle." "At our backs we feel the might of tradition wrought by those who have gone before." "Over our hearts we bear the Silver Fern, emblem of mana to die for." "This challenge is now thrown out to you. Take it if you dare for we will not withold ourselves this day and the faint of heart will surely be lost." Whiti te ra! Hi!
Muito bom, isso sim é uma demonstração de patriotismo e respeito à tradição e cultura que são passadas por seus antepaçados, muito bom, tenho certeza que ainda um dia verei um jogo dos All Blacks.
The man with his shirt off is Hosea Gear, his brother is Rico Gear who has lead a haka for the AllBlacks type in 'kapa O Pango all blacks'. Im not going to lie alot of young Maori playing sports look alot like Hosea Gear, we are a distinguished people.
@bordshat no it isnt... there are thousands of different hakas from all over aotearoa (nz). if you made the team and by chance didnt know this particular haka, it would be taught to you, usually from another team mate or a well respected kaumatua (elder). each haka has a meaning or story within it... this one talks about the beginning of time and life.
I have observed the mexican culture and you can see the calender with a face in the middle sticking out his tongue it means , showing his soul!At least a shaman told me once, back in the day couples would look at each other sticking out their tongues and watching, letting the soul out and let them enter aswell! And they do though aswell Respect to the Maori! the haka gives me energy and strength , this team is a family on field, dying for each other! Raw nowadays
@crazytempest Doesn't surprise me in the least. They have a strong and proud culture worthy of honour and respect. I certainly wouldn't like to face them across a battle field!
i dont follow rugby, and saw this video on youtube and wondered if the All blacks were world champions and was happy to know that they could talk the talk and walk the walk. The HAKA is awesome simply awesome
That was awesome - so powerful.... I gotta say, it looks better when they have their shirts off (not just for the view) but it looks more organic, more real - they look like warriors.
@madirishman01 I'm Irish and in 1916 the Irish got destroyed in Dublin. The English didn't get defeated they just got fed up of constant rebellions and decided to pull out. The Irish used cowardly tactics like flying columns.
I agree with you. However the Maori in the early conflicts with the British decided to face the Brits in the open field more than once. This proved to be a costly lesson for the Maori...therefore changing tactics was smart.
Mr O'Reilly says "Lads we are here to play New Zealand maori, I've never met such a greater, friendly, bunch of guys, come over to the halfway line and meet them, they're eager to meet you ,come on now lads,form a line, no man hugging, make a gap there lads, righteo then"
I cannot understand how you can say that. The Maori culture is very strong in traditions, and they usually honor their ancestors with the Haka, which is very important to preserve the history. You must inform yourself, before to write such a comments. I imagine you must be very young.
@basslover171 Thanks for the info, some of them are mixed right? I know there are a lot of half/partial Maori people in NZ as well as the full blooded Maori. Either way this is just awesome!!! gotta love it lol.
imagine you're a small group of 14th century english or spanish colonists, you just land on a island you have never seen before, you walk down to a clearing and see almost one thousand men doing this carrying spears, axes and covered in warpaint. that is why the maori's are fucking terrifying
@MrBucket0fries By the way, the Haka is a war dance therefore it cannot be refereed to as 'skinny' and seeing as it isn't an object of mass but a movement it's also impossible to 'break him in half'. Tee hee.
GEEEZUZ That guy is a beast! Anyway, if anyone from NZ reads this, do you guys learn the haka at school or if you are in a rugby team or do you even learn it? Im from ireland, and i don't know irish dancing so i was just wondering, lol.
Wow I was born in.mexico and if you play anything other than soccer you are considered an outsider, but I live in U.S.A and if you play anything other.han baseball, basketball, and football(american) you are also considered an outsider.i dont know much about rugby but it looks awesome I would love to learn the culture behind it an the cultire behind every country that plays it.
@UHtiger thanks i did check in wikipedia and you are right , the player is to have maori genealogy but some of the players look more british than anything else and the europeens arrived just 200 years ago so thats make 3 generations so surely signs of maori on face and body can't disappear that quick.
Man, I haven't seen this is ages, but Looking at Kees Meeuws there man deadly, don't know nowadays since the highlanders have just called him up out of retirement for their games in the weekend at the age 37! Fun times! lol
I'm an American who really wants to go to NZ to visit your beautiful country, one thing that troubles me though is in almost every internet board on NZ I check and even a lot of comments on youtube have white NZ citizens talking badly about the Maori people. It usually sounds like how old white people here in the US talk about Afircan Americans and it just sounds really racist. I won't pretend to know everything about all of your issues but why so many racist comments?
@Neylonx but you see this the meaning of the dance is being misused the dance was never used as means of intimidation but means of greeting guests or for celebrating. so dont be misconceived by the meaning of the dance but i get what u are saying
LYRICS: I te timatanga Ko te Kore Ko te po nui Ko te po roa Wehenga Matua Herenga Tangata He toa Rangatahi He toa Rangatira Whakaki te Maunga Tae ki te Whenua Hoki ki te Rangi Tae ki te Pukerunga Piki ake piki ake Ki te ara Poutama Ki nga Taumatatanga e Wairua Hinengaro Tinana
This is the most inspirational and motivational "ready for battle" signal ever, and i could for sure get motivated and pumped up to it, but i admit, i did laugh at 0:45
@newsreeldemocracy we done this since day 1 in rugby, its our heritage, its only fair we can do this, although it should be left on the rugby field.

Es dient nicht dem Gegner Angst zu machen, auch wenn es dann und wann Vllt gelingt. Es ist eine Tradition die in Neu Seeland schon im Kindergarten gelehrt wird. Das machen übrigens alle Auswahlmannschaften Neu Seelands (Auch Fussi ;-)
this one never gets old - please never remove this one, solid
This is the best Haka i've ever seen recorded, the passion and sincerity, the callers voice so strong - boys you did your country proud!
haka really helps players to get into the state of a kind of warrior's trance and suppress feeling of fear befour match
yeah bro, takes the flight right out of 'fight or flight' reaction when u get that intense and focused.
rahowhero
yes, everything is in its place, when u tremble u just need to show it, like they do playing with fingers, when your knees get weak just squat like they do and press hard leg muscles, to get any thoughts out of mind do like they do - goggle, stick out your toung and shout
ignorant fuck.

Thanks be to God, this wonderful NZ Maori haka v Ireland A is still active.
Prefered this version of Timatanga. I dont like how they made it longer with all the stopping.
One Irish guy was squinting thinking 'feck we've got the riverdance after this'
That was a great haka, with real intensity, passion. It was very well lead. Respect.
Damn I used to watch this vid back in 2008... crazy how I've just stumbled across it again
best haka....................
I love watching Hosea Gear and Tana Umaga leading the haka.
best haka ever
How can anyone put this down? I'm a german/english/irish guy from the United States and I love it everytime I see it. Tradition is a great thing and it's awesome that they allow all the players to do this no matter what their ethnicity is. I am all for keeping up on the traditions of the native people, you can't live in the past but you can appreciate it.
i would follow those men into battle
Hosea Gear looks REAL good doing this. Love the tattoos.
LOL 0:45 Chicken died
Derian Tungka lmao
The guy who led the haka (shirtless one) is Hosea Gear.He currently plays for the Wellington Hurricanes in Super15 rugby.
Pakeha. The best white meat.
What a powerful performance!
This discipline is highly inspiring, wonderful magnificent tradition!!!
Muslim Maori rise up
Jaks2much HAHA
We will crush you before you rise up.
Rise up for what? No thank you very much. And I'm not even maori.
+vishsrb fuck off clown 99.8% maoris are pork eaters and christians!
+mb1968nz largest growing religion in nz, not due to immigration. tis coz of maori conversion rate. still fuck all of the deluded retards, but still.
Back when the Haka was simple, direct and to the point.
Hosea Gear is probably the best winger in world rugby at the moment. Awesome on the Northern Hemisphere tour!
I love the Haka...I liked it best when the All Blacks came to Thormond Park and the 3 Maori Munster Men did their Haka aswell. Absolute class.
Always loved Hosea Gear's leadership in this one.
man this teams stacked, better then the maori team we have today.
its a young team with alot of potental i hope . . . no i know that maori rugby will come through and the boys will continue to carve it up, current maori all blacks in the abs are arron crudden aron smith dane coles rayn crotty ben smith joe moody
cory jane and dagg.
keep up the good work family

Le HAKA était bien meilleur en ce temps que de nos jours !!! Beaucoup mieux respecté et représenté.
This is an awesome video. I love the Haka war dance and I love how nervous the Irish look while watching this dance. Almost makes me want to watch a soccer match. Almost.
this is waaay beyond awesome and definitely the best and most scaring haka of all! i'm impressed

All Blacks.
The guy w/no shirt is the finest ever!!!! Could watch this all daaaaaay LONG!
I love the little scream just after 0:45 seconds into this!
The man with his shirt off is Hosea Gear, his brother is Rico Gear who has lead a haka for the AllBlacks type in 'kapa O Pango all blacks'.
Im not going to lie alot of young Maori playing sports look alot like Hosea Gear, we are a distinguished people.
I love that I could watch it all the time
ハカって何回見てもド迫力だし、しびれるわぁ
+伊藤裕貴 WHAT????...ENGLISH...OR Maori if you game??
@bordshat no it isnt... there are thousands of different hakas from all over aotearoa (nz).
if you made the team and by chance didnt know this particular haka, it would be taught to you, usually from another team mate or a well respected kaumatua (elder).
each haka has a meaning or story within it... this one talks about the beginning of time and life.
Hosea Gear should be in the world cup this year.
I dont know too much about Rugby. I´m sorry. But, the NZ Maori have the same uniform of All Blacks ???
Respect from Brazil !!! This is amazing !!!
HOSEA GEAR IS AWESOME!!! Thanx 4 posting
I have observed the mexican culture and you can see the calender with a face in the middle sticking out his tongue it means , showing his soul!At least a shaman told me once, back in the day couples would look at each other sticking out their tongues and watching, letting the soul out and let them enter aswell! And they do though aswell Respect to the Maori!
the haka gives me energy and strength , this team is a family on field, dying for each other!
Raw nowadays
@crazytempest Doesn't surprise me in the least. They have a strong and proud culture worthy of honour and respect. I certainly wouldn't like to face them across a battle field!
i dont follow rugby, and saw this video on youtube and wondered if the All blacks were world champions and was happy to know that they could talk the talk and walk the walk. The HAKA is awesome simply awesome
rua tipoki was last heard back in NZ doing a bit of coaching and just relaxing!
I'm a South-African living in Ireland, but DAMN this is good!
That was awesome - so powerful.... I gotta say, it looks better when they have their shirts off (not just for the view) but it looks more organic, more real - they look like warriors.
That Hosea Gear can haka at me all day. OMG what a gorgeous man.
@madirishman01 I'm Irish and in 1916 the Irish got destroyed in Dublin. The English didn't get defeated they just got fed up of constant rebellions and decided to pull out. The Irish used cowardly tactics like flying columns.
I agree with you. However the Maori in the early conflicts with the British decided to face the Brits in the open field more than once. This proved to be a costly lesson for the Maori...therefore changing tactics was smart.
looks like sport is finally regaining some of its true values
0:45 the guy on the right felt the need to add his own special touch to it .
scares the crap out of me every time I watch it
Mr O'Reilly says "Lads we are here to play New Zealand maori, I've never met such a greater, friendly, bunch of guys, come over to the halfway line and meet them, they're eager to meet you ,come on now lads,form a line, no man hugging, make a gap there lads, righteo then"
I've got this on my alarm clock, but I play it to send me to sleep
Absolutely fantastic. The Irish look so nervous! Incredible.
Hosea Gear has that pure breed east coast build.
@VGFTGGKV22 Thanks mate! I'm Australian, but you have to Respect this. Don't forget the Australia NZ Test Match Tomorrow morning!!!!!!!
not sure what all that means, but it sounds like it came from the heart.
Hosea Gear. Amazing player
New Zealand won 55-20 over Ireland A (just one of three losses in Ireland's Churchill Cup history: 9W - 3L).
Love this haka - the new haka beginning with the military style walk looks tooooo choregraph! This is wayyyyyyy better! Leave it like this oneeee!
Malo Kiwiz,
I feel this is the best haka. Soifua
I cannot understand how you can say that. The Maori culture is very strong in traditions, and they usually honor their ancestors with the Haka, which is very important to preserve the history. You must inform yourself, before to write such a comments. I imagine you must be very young.
@basslover171 Thanks for the info, some of them are mixed right? I know there are a lot of half/partial Maori people in NZ as well as the full blooded Maori. Either way this is just awesome!!! gotta love it lol.
I do this every time my mum tells me to shut down the play station and go to bed.
imagine you're a small group of 14th century english or spanish colonists, you just land on a island you have never seen before, you walk down to a clearing and see almost one thousand men doing this carrying spears, axes and covered in warpaint. that is why the maori's are fucking terrifying

Tee hee.
THIS IS FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@erustuff Respect brother, the haka is what makes New zealand special.
GEEEZUZ
That guy is a beast!
Anyway, if anyone from NZ reads this, do you guys learn the haka at school or if you are in a rugby team or do you even learn it? Im from ireland, and i don't know irish dancing so i was just wondering, lol.
Btw - Now why hasn't Hosea Gear picked for modelling jockeys with Dan Carter? Damn, he'll be an awesome model too!
that's pretty F-ing hardcore looking. my high school football team does this before games. i love it
@skittification i agree. it is a most gentle lullaby.
@GemmaMayes Isaac Boss. He's on the World Cup squad but Reddan and Murray get chosen over him every time, he's a cracking player though.
@savator408 Its called a "haka"....The Maori team perform it before a rugby match,here they are performing it to Ireland.
damn i didnt know this version of haka but still looks awesome , ppl who are proud of their indentity and culture are hard to beat , go all blacks !!!
@yannfranck24...do you mean the one thats leading the haka? Thats Hosea Gear..absolutely amazing winger
still sends shivers..
@CBSparky9 I was unaware that it did... Thanks for letting me know.
Going to tauranga boys college we never done a haka with our shirts on .. That's just how it was !!!!
Wow I was born in.mexico and if you play anything other than soccer you are considered an outsider, but I live in U.S.A and if you play anything other.han baseball, basketball, and football(american) you are also considered an outsider.i dont know much about rugby but it looks awesome I would love to learn the culture behind it an the cultire behind every country that plays it.

I won't pretend to know everything about all of your issues but why so many racist comments?
Gear always tears the Haka up...respect.
The way to downplay this is for the opposing team to all start clapping after they are done.
@Neylonx but you see this the meaning of the dance is being misused the dance was never used as means of intimidation but means of greeting guests or for celebrating. so dont be misconceived by the meaning of the dance but i get what u are saying

This is the most inspirational and motivational "ready for battle" signal ever, and i could for sure get motivated and pumped up to it, but i admit, i did laugh at 0:45
For all those wanting the results:
New Zealand Māori A 50 - 22 Ireland Ireland A
The topless guy is Hosea Gear.
@newsreeldemocracy we done this since day 1 in rugby, its our heritage, its only fair we can do this, although it should be left on the rugby field.

The bulls saying how much they will destroy the bears in the U.S stock market, no matter the circumstances.
If I ever go up against this team, I'm going to try to imitate every motion and sound of their haka xD
CANNOT WAIT for autumn internationals :D
if earth ever faces a fight to the death these guys should lead the fight back
