VIDEO: Tall Blacks do the Haka!
Updated | By Rory Petzer
The Maori challenge, known as the Ka Mate or Haka is part and parcel of New Zealand rugby, and has been since 1905.
Love it or hate it, it is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Some teams might even prefer it as it possibly adds a good dose of pre-match adrenaline just being forced to watch it.
We know our 1995 Rugby World Cup winning Springboks just loved it!
Well, New Zealand's basketball team, appropriately called the Tall Blacks, performed it at the World Championships in Spain recently.
Their American opponents had absolutely no idea what was going on!
USA went on to win 98 - 71.
What are your thoughts on the Haka? Is it still appropriate or is it perhaps outdated and tiresome? What do you think of the Tall Blacks' efforts at it?
