HomeWorldOlympicsNew Zealand women’s rugby 7s team performs the Haka after winning their consecutive Olympic Gold medal in the event defeating Canada 19-12.
Good job ladies! I was rooting for Canada because I have to but I’m always happy to see NZ win too ♥️
With Fiji finally beaten, 7’s needs a new final boss. New Zealand Women could easily take that role. And would make a New Zealand/Australia final in 8 years oh so tasty.
New Zealand men looking at each other: I’m not crying, you’re crying!
It’s a bucket list item of mine to see a haka live
Do the women do the exact same haka as the men do? Curious.
New Zealand winning it all on Rugby isnt a surprise. How can you even stop that woman?
Is that Mahina Paul at the beginning? Regardless, she has a nice singing voice.
I absolutely adore watching the haka performed.
It feels so raw and emotive. The passion.
Congratulations New Zealand!🇳🇿 So cool to see the Haka!
stacey wakaa carried the team!
My local streaming service didn’t stick around for the haka, so thanks for this!
Congrats to the kiwis! What a fantastic tournament, and the final Olympic match for some legends of the sport!
Huge shoutout to Canada in the final, for finally making the Black Ferns break a sweat, for a change. I was afraid they were going to cruise to a gold medal, but that match actually got good!
Are haka’s something that the team make their own and only know how to do or is this a relatable haka and people would just be able to join in?
Do women traditionally do a haka in NZ culture? Or is this more of a “sports” thing adopted recently?
Good thing they won because Canada’s chant would have been synchronized saying sorry a hundred times
New Zealands rugby teams performing The Haka is one of the great joys of the stuff around the sport. I haven’t seen this one before, do love seeing the variety of them. Also I swear they have to practice the crazy faces.
I’m not a kiwi but every time I watch them perform a haka, I get chills. You can tell they have so much pride in their heritage and that it’s not just some performative thing they do cause it’s expected. It’s pure, raw passion and feeling. I wish Australia had a relationship with our First Nations culture like this, we still have such a long way to go
Makes me cry every time.
Brilliant match!
They’re the best in the world and it shows. Well done New Zealand team.
That never fails to give me chills.
Never fails to give me the chills
As a Canadian rugby girl I must say – to the victor go the spoils! I am so so SO proud of our team but if you’re gonna lose to anyone, may as well be the undisputed world champions!!! Incredible game to watch!!!
Absolutely love this
I dunno why I tear up every time watching a haka video
Can anyone translate what they are saying or is that not for us to know?
will never scroll past a haka video
Omg this brought tears to my eyes!
You are awesome
Great send off for some of our veterans ( Stacey Waaka, Sarah Hirine, Porsche Woodman e.t.c) there will be a massive rebuilding phase for the Black Fern sevens after the Olympics, but I am sure we will be up to the challenge!
Fantastic.
Can someone from New Zealand explain do people regularly do this in their country (for victory or whatever) or they’re doing it just for sake of it?
Congrats to our neighbours.
The power of maaaaannnnnyyyyyyy
After? I thought it was supposed to be before.
That’s so fierce! Thank you for sharing their culture!
