Go All Blacks!

I don't watch Rugby, but the All Blacks are now officially my favourite team. I thought it was amazing when I saw a team perform this chant at the dragon boat festival, and now that I know it's background I think it's ten times as cool.

All of us should find ways to incorporate the Haka in our daily lives:



you should at least watch the very end, or just watch the following version:

(First of all, go Bokke! Boo All Blacks!)

If you want to learn the haka:
Ka Mate! Ka Mate!
Ka Ora! Ka Ora!
Tenei te ta ngata puhuru huru
Nana nei i tiki mai

Whakawhiti te ra
A upane ka upane!
A upane kaupane whiti te ra!
Hi!!

English Translation:
It is death! It is death!
It is life! It is life!
This is the hairy person
Who caused the sun to shine
Keep abreast! Keep abreast
The rank! Hold fast!
Into the sun that shines!

All South Pacific rugby teams have their own version. Check out New Zealand vs. Tonga: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW9nLK5PHqg
