These guys are HUGE and SCARY. I love Rugby, and I really love the All Blacks. (not to mention, they're all quite attractive!)
I have so much adrenaline in my body right now!! This game is going to be epic! Go ALL BLACKS!

HAKA
I am sitting in my living room, about to watch New Zealand's pride and joy: The All Blacks rugby team. They've just finished the opening ceremonies which included the presentation of both teams (we're playing the Australians--darn Aussies--one of our biggest rivals), both national anthems, and the All Blacks Haka Dance. The Haka is a traditional Maori war-dance. It's meant to intimidate the enemy-and it does. Here, take a look:

That dance looks similar to the 'traditional' tribal dance from NZ they had at the polynesian cultural center. Did they make their eyes REALLY big and stick out their tongues? Apparently that's as rude as giving the finger <_<...>_>
ReplyDeleteHaha, its not a rude sign. but yes, Maori people do that. It's a sign of defiance... so they do it to their enemies. Intimidation techniques.
