I've seen that Trojan Haka video before. I think if I had to line up against that guy I would s*** myself.

[Phrost]

Culture SMULTURE that was the gayest thing I have ever seen.

[bored of education]

The All Blacks Haka is bad ass.

You must respect the cultural meanings behind each haka. I think D-Chess is the one that knows his stuff about them.

real men Play rugby.

Probably, I still think its ***.

Sopoaga on the niners does it before games..or he used to.

[Moses]

Meh, I personally find the guy who does his job silently and flawlessly the most intimidating. Nothing is more frustrating than facing that guy that never makes a mistake and never shows weakness.

Need I say more?

[bored of education]

Its tradition. Not a type of trash talk. before every rugby game we did our team song. They did theirs. Its a form of respect and tradition.

That must be your favorite word

Doesn't Hawaii do something similar before football games?

[Cashmoney]

The dude in the first vid sounds like the devil

[McBain]

Need I say more?

No, you should have never said anything to begin with.

[Wooty Magic!]

One word : Intimidating...woooo

[critesy]

he was definitely either Hawaiian or Samoan.

[Ho0k Em']

he was definitely either Hawaiian or Samoan.

Either way he looks like he'd eat my children.

which is the point, eek

[draftguru151]

The Dolphins got 3 boys from Hawaii and another Samoan, maybe they'll start doing this, couldn't hurt.

The Haka is really cool, one of the coolest things in sports.

[villagewarrior]

It looks like it would be fun to perform, just to get pumped before a game, but I don't think I would be intimidated by it if I was with the opposition. Screaming and slapping the pads just doesn't frighten me.

well actually the Trojan Haka wasn't all that impressive, but when the New Zealand rugby team does it the whole crowd starts cheering and screaming and they look pretty damn scary... Plus like you say, it gets the adrenaline flowing.

[M1Koter]

My rugby team does kinda our own version of the haka, definatly not as cool as some of the preofessional teams, those mer fer's are crazy
