the haka

Corzr mentioned the All Black Haka in a comment on the previous post (the All Blacks is the name of the New Zealand rugby team for anyone who honestly didn't know) so I'll post a couple of clips of the Haka (it's a Maori war dance basically).

The first clip is hosted by allblacks.com and is a pretty staunch rendition of the Haka performed by the New Zealand Sevens team after winning the Wellington leg of the IRB World Series.

Here's one I had on my PC. Not sure where I got it from but it's the All Blacks doing the official Haka all put together into one seamless clip but made up of outtakes from a bunch of different games spanning a number of years. It's pretty good actually, if you can handle the 6MB size.

By the way, this last link above is an .avi file. If you want to use this clip embedded on your own website, right click the link and 'save target as..' then you can host it on your own domain rather than eat my bandwidth. Thanks.
