England advanced on the All Blacks whilst they were doing the Haka. Wales stayed on the half way line and would not retreat until the All Blacks walked away (which they dont do). The referee had to intervene on both occasion as it was a stand off.
Haka
A rugby player or Maurie warrior. The Haka is the challenge that the All Blacks rugby team perform prior to the start of a rugby match. It originates as a Maurie war dance.
It is called a Haka because the All Blacks have a Haka for their Rugby Team
The Haka.
The most famous Haka is probably the one which is most often performed by the All Blacks before rugby tests. This haka is called 'Ka Mate' and is also known as 'Te Rauparaha's Haka'.
The hakka which is preformed before a New Zeland rugby match.
The Haka is a form of cultural expression exclusive to the Maori of New Zealand. The haka that is most familiar to pakeha (non-Maori), the haka most likely to be performed by international sports teams such as the All Blacks, is Te Rauparaha's Haka, also known as 'Ka Mate! Ka Mate!'
No. The Haka has become a trade mark of any All Black game and whether you are a new Zealander of not its respected and enjoyed by the rugby faithful.
NZ does the Haka because its their islands tribal wardance, its like their national anthem and so instead of a normal national anthem they do a Haka
If you mean Rugby dance it is called the Haka,they do the dance before they start the game to try to scare the other team.
The haka is a war dance. it is performed by the all blacks, the new zealand rugby team to frighten the opponents just as it was performed during battle to frighten off an enemy.
Far from being a dance for scaring some mofos in rugby (which we do bloody well btw), the haka is actually an ancient war dance used by the maori people for many hundreds of years- you got to love our tradition, it sure wins the rugby .
