as an irish rugby fan i love this too. two great sides, packed stadium, passionate fans roaring their teams on. gives me goosebumps. jesus i long for it to return.
Elz J yeah we like a challenge but that’s just disrespectful. Like imagine us starting to sing tu tere mai nga iwi while the English Peps sing there national anthem, huh!
Jade Rose that’s different. The haka isn’t New Zealand’s national anthem, it is a challenge towards the opponent which was used in history, the English singing swing low was them saying ‘we accept your challenge’
@@jaderose7262 and a challenge to the England team at Twickenham is a challenge to the crowd too. Bollocks to this TV-based, hushed reverence of the Haka. We love the Kiwis by nature and when the All Blacks are in town it’s one of the rare occasions that the cynical, supine English bond and accept a challenge! This is like fighting your best mate because you snogged his sister, then going down the pub
@@jaderose7262 Do you even know what the Haka is all about? No? Embarrassing. That’s like having a match and the opposition stood there whilst you get to win 200-0. Challenge us with Haka, we’ll challenge you.
Nicktrains 22 I’d say by the very fact that you had British soldiers fighting Zulus in The Zulu homeland that the Zulus might have all the right on their side you muppet. Following your logic if an army of Zulu warriors invaded the south coast of England and there was a battle there you would also comment that neither side was right or wrong. Ya right and btw I am English
@@Cora342 An important thing about that war was that the British government didnt want it at all. Nor did the SA settlers. It was just the governer trying to get a peerage. The soldiers didnt want to be there eitherm
@@Cora342 The battles of Isandlwana and Roorke’s Drift took place a long way from Zulu homeland. The Zulu originally came from much further north, they were now living in this part of Africa as colonial invaders. The Zulu may be indigenous to Africa but not this part of it. They were expanding their territory, just like the Europeans.
It blows my mind people saying its disrespectful to challenge the haka. Us kiwis love it!! Why would you just stand there on home territory (Twickenham) and not answer. Love the electricity, gives me goosebumps. The most memorable All Blacks challenge for me is the 2011 RWC final when the French team set up in an arrow formation hand to hand and crossed the halfway line and formed up in a line. They were fined for that which is damn stupid. Why even have the haka if your not going to embrace the spectacle of a challenge.
This is not disrespectful.... this is Twikenham... These England supporters have come to support England... If you want to hear the Haka then I suggest you pay a visit to UA-cam or book a flight to New Zealand.... 🇬🇧
The Haka was a novelty in the 80s, a spectacle in the 90s, a piece of musical theatre in the 00s and the lamest of all ducks in 2010+. Wake me up when these adults have put their tongues back in and found a swimming pool for their synchronised dancing.
Far better than chanting "U S A" over and over. Also funny how America copied its entire language and culture from Britain. It's almost like that's how all cultures evolve.
I THINK THE HAKA should only happen at home in AOTEAROA where it belongs...no other country should be allowed " THE PRIVLEGE".....that is of course unless the country they are playing against,..specifically ask for " THE HAKA " challenge ,proir to the match !!
Traditionally the Haka was only done outside NZ. And remember Haka pre date national anthems in sport. The first national anthem was a spontaneous response to the Haka by the Welsh crowd in 1905/6. Haka date to 1888 UK tour if not before. I say scrap national anthems bring your cultural response.
@@prof_kaos9341 You know nothing ! The Challenge was from a Maori chief in the Taranaki area of Aotearoa ..he hid ,as approaching english soldiers, surrounded ,... his name TE RAUPARAHA ...of course ,in true english fashion , the facts ..have been somewhat misinformed ..ala Scott & the Southern Poles Anartic ETC etc .. regardless warrior TE RAUPARAHA raised himself from his hiding area and performed Ka Mata haka towards the english ... A CHALLENGE TOWARDS LIFE & DEATH
@@rockinrollinntrollin616 I know nothing? WTF are you talking about? What is incorrect? Here are your errors. There were no English involved, it was far from Taranaki. About 1820 Te Rauparaha was looking for allies during the inter Maori Musket Wars. The Waikato tribe Ngati Maniapoto were expanding and Kawhia(in Waikato not Taranaki) with its harbour was prime real estate next door. Te Rauparaha (Ngati Toa) visited Ngati Tuwharetoa (near Taupo) Chief Te Heuheu (whos descendant 40yrs later ran the Brits ragged at Orakau & in the Taranaki) where he had to hide in the kumara pit and wrote Ka Mate. In the end Te Rauparaha was force out of the area to Kapati. It was only in the late 1980s under Buck Shelford that the ABs did Haka in NZ. Haka being done initially on the 1888 NZ Natives Tour the tradition was set, not in NZ. But if I had been wrong why not be polite telling me? Why the name calling? As it is you are in error, name calling compounding your foolishness.
Lol the Haka is so cringe anyway. You'll never be as epic as 40,000 singing a club and country song over your stupid lil war dance lol. Brought to u by Pepsi.
I wish the british would research the history behind this American spiritual song...then maybe they'll think twice before using this song as a good luck charm to win rugby games. Sickening
87jello We know all about the origins of this song. If you did a bit of research yourself and stop trying to display your own ignorance which is a sickening indictment of your attempt to be a self righteous idiot. It’s not British it’s English. The Welsh, Scots and Northern Irish will not thank you to be grouped in with the English in a matter of sporting competition. Unless we are competing as The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island. Swing Low Sweet Chariot was written sometime after 1865 (it’s not known exactly) the British, including the English abolished slavery in 1812 so you can’t play the self righteous card on us. As far as we are concerned it may be popular with what you call African Americans but not slaves as they did not exist when the song was written. The song has been a popular anthem in rugby clubs since the 1940s (it may be earlier but I have no primary evidence at this stage). Every single rugby player in England knows this song it is that popular. It is not sung to bring good luck, we don’t believe in magic, we stopped burning witches a long time before America too. It is sung because it is the one song that unites every rugby player in England. It unites supporters from around the country as they support the National team. The only sickening aspect is your ignorance which you use to make a false charge against English rugby supporters.
@@nicholaswhite3811 Couldn't have said it better myself May I add; Welsh rugby fans sing Bread of Heaven. I dont know what Scottish and Irish fans sing
@@rosierennie5867 Scotland sing Flower of Scotland.. Which I think is a great song for uniting Scots. Even if based on a distorted view of Edward and his army.. Edward was there at the behest of lowlanders to help them put their man on the throne. A bit naive as Edward took advantage to feather his own nest. If you listen to Scots fans singing at Murrayfeild you would believe the Scots were victorious and are going to be iagain in the match in question. The Irish sing Fields Of Athenry another song which depicts the hard time the English gave to the Irish. About a young man being transported for stealing bread. The French use their National Anthem La Marseillaise to support their team. Traditionally they bring a Dax Band into the ground to play supporting melodies. Not sure if it still happens but when I lived in Twickenham in the 1970s the French always managed to sneak a live Cockerel into the ground.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the plight of African Americans. To carry your argument to its logical conclusion I can’t sing Doh a Deer because I’m.not an Austrian nun. Your self righteous attack is based on a false premise and ignorance of the place this anthem plays in rugby clubs. So to answer your first question “Yes we understand perfectly”. You don’t.
It was written in 1880s as an an entertainment song in the same spirit as Old Man River. It was written to make money selling the sheet music. It adoption by church goers is a quirk of history.

No there not they might have created rugby but new zealands dominates rugby hahaha
