Eve has been hiding this...

Eve, you'd think you would have brought this to our attention before now.

The NZ Allblacks performing a Maori War Dance before a match.

Our sports would be a lot better if they did these here.

Only, we're a mishmash nation, so all of our culture is imported. Our chant would be something like, "MILK, MILK! LEMON-AIDE! SHOW US SOME IF YOU'RE *NOT* AFRAID!"

Bejesus...

How long does it take to wet-vac all that testosterone off the grass when they're done.

I know if I was on the other team, that would intimidate the hell right out of me.

Choreography has that effect on some people, no doubt.

It was just weird that they had white guys doing that...

I've seen several of these war dances (polynesian)...it just looks weird to me to see some guy that doesn't have the history, or the genetics doing this.

Closet cases, all of 'em.

I don't know how I missed this post.

The latest variation is the cutting throat motion they've put in (I didn't see it on that clip).

Trust me, the way the game plays out is every bit as violent as the pre-emptive dance, with no padding or helmets!

Damn kiwis whipped our asses too.

I saw that on a couple of the other Hakas I looked up.

cutting the throat, with the tongue fully out.
