Which country has the best pre game challenge and why?

Question

Is it the All Black haka's? The Samoan Sivi Tau? The Tongan Sipi Tau or the Fijian Cibi? This youtube clip has them all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS7ATnctqu0. I have blood in me from all these cultures so I've kinda got a foot in every camp.

Answer 1

The Haka..and I'm half Samoan, so I'm almost sad to admit it.  But, with that said, I think they're all equally awesome to watch.  It's interesting and great to see our Polynesian cultures being represented..

Answer 2

England. God save the queen and swing low sweet chariot are enough to bore any team to defeat.

Answer 3

gotta be the wallabies, i love the way they raise their jugs to the sound of the haka and turn their backs on that stupid stuff, lets juz play and dont dance. bunch of *******

Answer 4

The All Black haka is the most well known and best pre game  challenge in rugby but i'd have the Aotearoa Maori rugby team up there too.

Answer 5

i think the haka  is the best and most well known it is something that anyone who enjoys rugby knows and my fellow americans who know next to nothing about rugby have heard of the all blacks and the haka

Answer 6

They're all pretty good. But when I was just a  kid, I used to always remember the ferocity of the kiwis as they do thier haka. It used to scare me and get me pumped up at the same time.

Answer 7

The best is when either of these teams face each other and challenge each other face to face. Its fierce, yet respectful of each's own culture, and the game usually starts with the same ferocity

Answer 8

We should get rid of these pre match war dances. They are silly and unnecessary.

Answer 9

NZ 1st XVs, especially traditional rivals with both schools behind each team facing each other doing their haka..awesome.

Answer 10

They are all intimidating but i think the haka is the best.

Answer 11

Just watched th NZ Maori do theres and Fiji also both were awesome. Those who say get rid of them have no reason other than they fear them! and are clearly intimdated by them!

Answer 12

The Haka's pretty cool.

I'm embarrassed that we have to counter with John Williamson and Waltzing Matilda.  Can't we void John Williamson's visa and send him out of Australia?

He's embarrassing.
