Leave it to the actual countries that do the Haka. And if you're going to do it, try to have more than one person making a noise.



^Rugby is literally the only time I respect the French.




Basically if your team is not from NZ, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, don't do it.

I'm aware one of the players is from the region but that doesn't mean the whole team should do a haka.

Also what do you mean by what the fuck?

It's just a strange thing to me, a pre-game choreographed dance number. But that's probably a broader reflection of my ignorance of rugby and the culture of rugby.

OK, just Googled "haka". It seems it's a traditional Maori thing with a long history. A battle cry type of thing. That's cool, I suppose.

Lene Maiava
Samoans have too many last names that are similar in spelling. When I first saw that name I thought the guy might be related to the Maivia professional wrestling family which would bring the number of the Rock's cousins up to about 215. But it's two different names.

Could be a slightly disgruntled branch of the family that went rogue and switched some vowels around.

Yeah, it comes from their tribal history, it's basically a battle cry, and they've traditionally always done them at the start of their games. They do, and I believe Fiji, Samoa and Tonga also do their own
