Those s were probably gassed halfway through the first quarter. That one dude with the beard was like making love to the air and .

The Haka is pretty cool. US Players were WFT is this.

works for ma s in rugby tbh as they haven't lost a rugby game in over 3 years

can't blame these nigs for trying it at every major sport

the Haka is basically saying we gonna your sisters and eat you and your children

check out the original version: (ma Nonu in the dreadlocks )

[Bynumite]

I thought they only did that before rugby games. Didn't know that ritual was used in other sports too.

I don't know how Team USA was able to keep straight faces.

This is called the 'Haka'. A native Maori ritual done before starting a battle.

[Buddy Mignon]

This is called the 'Haka'.

Does haka translate to gay?

[Mugen]

Haka's are pretty dope tbh. Not sure it's a great idea when you know you're gonna lose by 30 but I admire the ritual.

Final score

United States 98
New Zealand 71

Coaches like Don Nelson and _'Antoni would be ideal coaches for team USA, just call up the best shooters and play run and gun. Monkeyball doesn't work in FIBA games because those European bigs are too big and strong in the paint, and to make things worse, there's no defensive 3-sec rule in FIBA games.

[baseline bum]

It's a Maori thing. Every Maori TV channel in New Zealand is 24 hours of that ing haka dance.

they have no business doing the haka if ur a colony of the british and failed to protect ur country...thats fkn bs man

u dont see australia performing pregame, we only perform post game with the winning score

[Chinook]

Those of us who watch rugby know all about them. But it's already amused me that New Zealand is so into it. They seem out of place with the other Oceanic nations.

[Chinook]

Lol at the Americans acting like it was a recital and not a challenge. I guess it was good for the Kiwis that the USA didn't know what it was.

"In the past three weeks New Zealand teams have very uncharacteristically lost a lot of rugby! In case you need a reminder, the men’s 7s team failed to win gold at the Commonwealth games, the Crusaders failed to win the Super Rugby le, and most recently the Black Ferns failed to make the semi-final of the Women’s Rugby World Cup."

[Chinook]

Eh, hater probably means 15s, which, as we all know, is the only real rugby.
