SVETLANA B. R. FROSTS PROUD MOM!

Hey NewZealanders!!!!! whats your thoughts on the imitations of the Hake 'Ka mate'?

Speaking as a Maori myself i fell excited and so impressed when i see the allblacks doing the haka before their games!

but not all but most of these imitaions of the haka 'Ka mate' are appauling! everyone should indeed have a right to do what they want and if others want to use it before a game (non-maori/non-nz'ers) to pump everyone up then atleast to it properly, take some pride into it while your doing it!! and dont try and change it up IN ANY WAY!!thats just rude I do indeed feel that yes there is some very kind teams who are trying their best practicing but you see itsmore then that to us Maori. you have to feel what you r saying and when slapping yourself it hurts because your supposed to do it hard because it shows how commited and involved with the words you are chanting! as long as your not mcoking the haka and following rules basically about respect for the maori culture then i think its fine to preform it!

whats u thoughts on this mattr?

open to all! maori and non

I believe that the Haka belongs solely to the All Blacks and it should remain that way. Each country should create a dance or pre-game ritual that will be related to their culture alone. And yes.....the AB's should really all learn to sing their national anthem. I,m a South African who loves and fully supports your All Blacks as well as our own Springboks.

Well I think imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and as long as we do it properly we set the standards for the imitators to live up to. What I cant stand is the non singing of the NZ anthem by some of the AB players


Lovin life
I think it is good and it gives the all blacks something to play for. They come from the best country in the world


kiwippl21
well there are other countrys like Tonga, tht have somethng similar to the haka but no1 kicks up a stink about them..

so its prob just like a jealousy thing cause nz the top rugby team and they just need to stir up trble to fill the news hour lol

heyea im c.i. n i totally agree that they should put their whole heart into things...and it is annoying as heck that some abs don't sing the national anthem..grrr
i don't know anyone who's changed the haka..i do like their new one...with real maori teaching them they should be fine..lawl they should bring the taiaha into it..dat would be kewl.
