All black's Haka Versus Irish equivalent? |
A few years ago there was a lot of trouble over the beginning of a rugby game where Ireland faced off the Haka with their own historical equivalent of a warrior intimidation display...does anyone know where I can download or view the video of that display? Ireland captain Willie Anderson's "men in green linked arms and began to shuffle forward into the mass of black jerseys". See the BBC Sport video on the right-hand side "The day Ireland threw down the 'gaunlet'(sic) to NZ" Source(s): http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_un... Are you sure it wasn't just the Adidas commercial with the Scots and All-Blacks where the scottish lifted up their Kilts? Otherwise, I don't know, try Limewire or Youtube. Limewire has a lot of downloadable rugby videos, and Youtube might have something online. As far as I know no countries other than the South Sea Islands and the All Blacks have a "Haka". It is a Polynesian war challenge. Ireland and Europe do not have the same tradition. Stirring anthems and singing, but no war dance. The Wallabies did the same by walking shoulder to shoulder up to them and starring them down, seems to work ! They did the same in Rugby League but instead turned their backs to them, haha... that really got up their backs ! and we again smashed our NZ brothers inarms ! |
