    Do the all blacks training sessions look like this:

    Dance practice

    Drills

    After training dance practice

    ????
     
  2. Gazza GJ Weaver

    That is exactly how it is
     
  3. Athlai JJD Heads

    I think it goes

    Dance practice

    Drills

    Laugh at other Test playing nations during an after training dance practice
     
  4. azzal AJ O'Neill

    I just wanted to know how they get the haka so perfect.
     
  5. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    All the noobs get shown it once by Piri (usually) - and then they get sent to the back of the group on the day so they can follow others who know it better. They don't practice it before each game.

    I don't know how they decide who gets front row status. Conrad is hard core back row.

    I believe they enlist the services of the famed choreographer; Sparky Polastri.
     
  7. Rocks DN Boland

    It is not exactly hard..
     
  8. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Every NZ rugby keen (boy at least) knows it from doing it as a child in the playground anyway.
     
  9. MatthewJay TA Miokovic

    Did you have dance-offs at school?
     
  10. Chewie JA Chewie

    We had haka practices at our school
     
  11. Chewie JA Chewie

    And part of that was splitting into two groups and doing it at each other
     
  12. El Nino J Torres

    It's changed though since I was a kid and knew it
     
  13. Youngman JE Harding

    Sames
     
  14. Himannv LV Himann

    Most people who follow the sport over here know it.
     
  15. Roaddogg AJ Izett

    I even had to learn the story behind it and have been to nearby where the story took place
     
  16. Harps ZAF MacDonald

    You NZed brus are cool
     
  17. Droos JP Rhodes

    Why is there more than one version?
     
  18. Starris ER Starris

    I learned a couple of different Haka at school not the AB ones though.
     
  19. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    I think they should have more than two versions, so at least it is not just one. That is a poorly worded sentence.

    Anyway read this
