The New Zealand All Blacks rugby team performing the Hakka just before their clash with the Springboks on Saturday. The Hakka probably originated from the Maori's as a chant prior to going into battle to give them strength, courage, inspiration and strike fear into the enemy. The Springboks won the match 28 points to 19. The games between these two fine teams is always a competitive and titanic battle.Tuesday, July 28, 2009

AWESOME photo! I've never been to a rugby game. I bet the battle chant helped!!
There are many Kiwi's here. The high schooler's that play American football do it before their games. The tradition continues.
I truely like the "Haka" but the guys need to get their game tactics in order when they coming to play against the World Champions.
