this one never gets old - please never remove this one, solid

This is the best Haka i've ever seen recorded, the passion and sincerity, the callers voice so strong - boys you did your country proud!

0:59 imagine being back in ww2 and in the dead of the night, hearing that noise in all directions coming at you. that was the maori battalion. BLEEEEEEH

haka really helps players to get into the state of a kind of warrior's trance and suppress feeling of fear befour match

rahowhero yes, everything is in its place, when u tremble u just need to show it, like they do playing with fingers, when your knees get weak just squat like they do and press hard leg muscles, to get any thoughts out of mind do like they do - goggle, stick out your toung and shout

It’s about building there spiritual strength and at the same time lower there spiritual strength. That’s called getting mental edge, but then you’ve got to put it in practice on the paddock. But remember it’s more about demonstrating that this is a clash and they’re prepared to give it there all. It’s not about or solely about victory.

Thanks be to God, this wonderful NZ Maori haka v Ireland A is still active.

Hosea Gear is the bomb diggity! Maori people are always representing their culture and i love that! I may be Samoan,German and Chinese..but the passion I see in the Maori people and in the Haka always gets me!! Love it!! Hosea Gear did AWESOME in leading this haka..as well as the rest of the team;) Huge fan of Hosea Gear!!!

Damn I used to watch this vid back in 2008... crazy how I've just stumbled across it again

One Irish guy was squinting thinking 'feck we've got the riverdance after this'

That was a great haka, with real intensity, passion. It was very well lead. Respect.

best haka ever

How can anyone put this down? I'm a german/english/irish guy from the United States and I love it everytime I see it. Tradition is a great thing and it's awesome that they allow all the players to do this no matter what their ethnicity is. I am all for keeping up on the traditions of the native people, you can't live in the past but you can appreciate it.

I love watching Hosea Gear and Tana Umaga leading the haka.

best haka....................

i would follow those men into battle

HOSEA GEAR IS AWESOME!!! Thanx 4 posting

this is waaay beyond awesome and definitely the best and most scaring haka of all! i'm impressed

Hosea Gear looks REAL good doing this. Love the tattoos.

Prefered this version of Timatanga. I dont like how they made it longer with all the stopping.

@basslover171 Thanks for the info, some of them are mixed right? I know there are a lot of half/partial Maori people in NZ as well as the full blooded Maori. Either way this is just awesome!!! gotta love it lol.

This is an awesome video. I love the Haka war dance and I love how nervous the Irish look while watching this dance. Almost makes me want to watch a soccer match. Almost.

The guy w/no shirt is the finest ever!!!! Could watch this all daaaaaay LONG!

man this teams stacked, better then the maori team we have today. its a young team with alot of potental i hope . . . no i know that maori rugby will come through and the boys will continue to carve it up, current maori all blacks in the abs are arron crudden aron smith dane coles rayn crotty ben smith joe moody cory jane and dagg. keep up the good work family

rua tipoki was last heard back in NZ doing a bit of coaching and just relaxing!

@skittification i agree. it is a most gentle lullaby.

Hosea Gear is probably the best winger in world rugby at the moment. Awesome on the Northern Hemisphere tour!

Muito bom, isso sim é uma demonstração de patriotismo e respeito à tradição e cultura que são passadas por seus antepaçados, muito bom, tenho certeza que ainda um dia verei um jogo dos All Blacks.

THIS IS FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@erustuff thank you! "do the Haka" (to tune of "do the hustle")

I love the little scream just after 0:45 seconds into this!

has anybody seen the haka with hosea gear leaping like 10 feet in front of the group and leads from there--i saw it a couple of months ago and cant find it anymore thanks for the help :)

CANNOT WAIT for autumn internationals :D

Always loved Hosea Gear's leadership in this one.

scares the crap out of me every time I watch it

@yannfranck24...do you mean the one thats leading the haka? Thats Hosea Gear..absolutely amazing winger

id really love to take part in that haka!

I've got this on my alarm clock, but I play it to send me to sleep

@CarantaCR found a version, fits this vid but the last three words are missing and i wanna know them!!! who can help me????

Hosea Gear should be in the world cup this year.

Absolutely fantastic. The Irish look so nervous! Incredible.

That was awesome - so powerful.... I gotta say, it looks better when they have their shirts off (not just for the view) but it looks more organic, more real - they look like warriors.

Man, I haven't seen this is ages, but Looking at Kees Meeuws there man deadly, don't know nowadays since the highlanders have just called him up out of retirement for their games in the weekend at the age 37! Fun times! lol

That Hosea Gear can haka at me all day. OMG what a gorgeous man.

@CBSparky9 I was unaware that it did... Thanks for letting me know.

@JerrySpringerRooms And just who are you referring to as a "Coconut Island" ??

@bordshat no it isnt... there are thousands of different hakas from all over aotearoa (nz). if you made the team and by chance didnt know this particular haka, it would be taught to you, usually from another team mate or a well respected kaumatua (elder). each haka has a meaning or story within it... this one talks about the beginning of time and life.

@VGFTGGKV22 Thanks mate! I'm Australian, but you have to Respect this. Don't forget the Australia NZ Test Match Tomorrow morning!!!!!!!

Love this haka - the new haka beginning with the military style walk looks tooooo choregraph! This is wayyyyyyy better! Leave it like this oneeee!

Hosea Gear. Amazing player

@greenknitter thats right!!! I would love to see you guys do Lord of the Dance!!!!

still sends shivers..

That was just fkn awesome!

@crazytempest Doesn't surprise me in the least. They have a strong and proud culture worthy of honour and respect. I certainly wouldn't like to face them across a battle field!

Le HAKA était bien meilleur en ce temps que de nos jours !!! Beaucoup mieux respecté et représenté.

not sure what all that means, but it sounds like it came from the heart.

Fantastično!

@dpkslife wow!! very powerfull words !! thank you very much !!

that's pretty F-ing hardcore looking. my high school football team does this before games. i love it

@erustuff thank you!

I'm a South-African living in Ireland, but DAMN this is good!

what was the final score ? does any1 know ?

@34rodzilla thats awesome! if only more of your country men shared the same respect for the haka and rugby as what u do

Damn I love Hosea Gear

looks like sport is finally regaining some of its true values

The man with his shirt off is Hosea Gear, his brother is Rico Gear who has lead a haka for the AllBlacks type in 'kapa O Pango all blacks'. Im not going to lie alot of young Maori playing sports look alot like Hosea Gear, we are a distinguished people.

@GemmaMayes Isaac Boss. He's on the World Cup squad but Reddan and Murray get chosen over him every time, he's a cracking player though.

If I ever go up against this team, I'm going to try to imitate every motion and sound of their haka xD

Hosea Gear has that pure breed east coast build.

@MrBucket0fries By the way, the Haka is a war dance therefore it cannot be refereed to as 'skinny' and seeing as it isn't an object of mass but a movement it's also impossible to 'break him in half'. Tee hee.

Malo Kiwiz, I feel this is the best haka. Soifua

one of the best!

やっぱ 良い！

Is this at ravenhill?

Best haka i have seen in my life.

@angryaznman and good natured. Thank you

I grew up in the U.S no exposure to Rugby whatsoever played our football. About a year ago I seen a match on TV with the All Blacks they did the Haka I was pumped before I even knew the game. Now I play rugby and wish I had started years ago Its the best physically competitive sport in the world. I prefer the union version but both are great. America needs to get with the ruck.

@Neylonx but you see this the meaning of the dance is being misused the dance was never used as means of intimidation but means of greeting guests or for celebrating. so dont be misconceived by the meaning of the dance but i get what u are saying

The All blacks BRAND depicts quality and high standards.It is a shame they belittle the haka and themselves when they don't perform it to this high standard regularly.Well done Hosea Gear and The team of the day,you make us proud to be Kiwi! when you throw down the gauntlet like that!

i just wanna mount hosea gear he is so damn fierce.

Can someone explain to me, which player is the one walking around in the Haka, the guy without a shirt in this case? Is it like the oldest player? Or the one with the most games played? Or just a certain position in the field? Couldn't find this on the internet

they choose this person to lead the haka purely because they see him fit for the position of the words and the right amount of strength for it not because of age or position in the team :) sometimes the coach chooses or the team chooses :)

Anyone can lead the Haka; provided he's gonna do it justice. A ginger, an African, an Asian or a blonde can lead the Haka if he knows the words, actions and has the ability to properly express it right. There's no point getting a Maori to lead the Haka if de doesn't speak Maori, dances like a weasel in front of the opposing team.

@erustuff Respect brother, the haka is what makes New zealand special.

"We are the All Blacks, of the New Zealand people." "We stand on this field arrayed for battle." "At our backs we feel the might of tradition wrought by those who have gone before." "Over our hearts we bear the Silver Fern, emblem of mana to die for." "This challenge is now thrown out to you. Take it if you dare for we will not withold ourselves this day and the faint of heart will surely be lost." Whiti te ra! Hi!

thankyou for taking your top off. reooooow!

holy shit... that gave me goosebumps,

The topless guy is Hosea Gear.

Kia kaha brothers!

Whats the name of this haka?

Frickin awesome!!! Though at 0:46, sounds more like a "Squawk!" xD

GEEEZUZ That guy is a beast! Anyway, if anyone from NZ reads this, do you guys learn the haka at school or if you are in a rugby team or do you even learn it? Im from ireland, and i don't know irish dancing so i was just wondering, lol.

@UHtiger thanks for the explanation.

This is the most inspirational and motivational "ready for battle" signal ever, and i could for sure get motivated and pumped up to it, but i admit, i did laugh at 0:45

Awesome!!!!!

I love the Haka...I liked it best when the All Blacks came to Thormond Park and the 3 Maori Munster Men did their Haka aswell. Absolute class.

what the name of this haka?
