SOME PEOPLE LOVE it, others hate it, but the Haka is undeniably a major part of rugby.
Often labelled a needless intimidation tactic and an unfair advantage for the All Blacks to strike a psychological blow, this video shows it wasn’t always the fearsome war dance it is today.
This video from USASEVENS.COM shows just how far it’s evolved since 1922, and the difference in those 93 years is startling.
