Abstract

The article discusses the haka, a traditional Maori war dance performed by the New Zealand rugby team, the All Blacks, before each international match. Haka dances were once performed by warriors to intimidate their opponents, but they have also been performed as a means of entertaining and welcoming visitors. The All Blacks have been performing the haka in the Rugby Championship tournament, and their opponents must face them doing the "Ka Mate" haka, which translates to "It is death." The haka has been effective for the All Blacks, as they have won the tournament for the past four years. [Extracted from the article]
