4. The All Blacks Rugby team from New Zealand.

There is a ritual in the All Blacks team. Before the game starts, the players will gather at the center of the rugby field and face their opponents fiercely. Then they begin some kind of a war-dance. In Maori language, this ritual is called the "haka".

The haka is part of the Maori warrior's conditioning for war and battle.

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!!

Translation:

It is death! It is death!
It is life! It is life!
This is the hairy person
Who caused the sun to shine
Keep abreast! Keep abreast
The rank! Hold fast!

I'm in hog heaven right now, because the Rugby World Cup (held every four years) is being held for over two weeks in France.

[KamaAina]

39. Hawai'i Warriors (American) football team performs the haka as well

indeed, it has become a flashpoint of controversy of late, with last week's opposing coach bellyaching about it and getting us penalized 15 on the opening kickoff!



http://starbulletin.com/2007/09/11/sports/story01.html

HOUSTON » Hawaii quarterback and team captain Colt Brennan blasted the Western Athletic Conference yesterday for penalizing the Warriors for their pregame haka performance.

UH was assessed a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty and kicked off from its own 15 to start its game at Louisiana Tech last Saturday. The Bulldogs took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Warriors came back to win 45-44 in overtime.

"I'm very disappointed and sad our conference would try not to allow it," Brennan said. "That tears at what college football is all about. We're representing a culture that is very unique. If it intimidates and scares a coach, that's his problem."

Brennan referred to LaTech coach Derek Dooley, who said he "knew it was a point of emphasis," and conferred with officials before the game.

Hey Coach Dooley! Here it comes...

[Reciprocity]

42. Thanks for posting that.

I’m not sure if the opposing team gave their approval or not thought?

[KamaAina]

43. Quite the contrary, they suckered us into a penalty

by being on the field pre-game during the haka. That is apparently considered "unsportsmanlike conduct" similar to taunting. Go figure. :shrug:

Bear in mind this is a team that's being touted as "this year's Boise State". It all almost came crashing down in September -- because of a 15-yard haka penalty! :eyes:
