Great to see the pacific countries showing their tradition at world stage, makes rugby much more than a sport and the passion is immense.

All the south hemisphere rugby players are very powerful (genetics) and I watched them when they play(ed) rugby. Speed, power and great coordination during the rugby games ... plus enjoyment for each rugby match. I'm always ... happy to see a rugby match when at least one rugby team from the south hemisphere is playing. Good luck to all of you during this WRC '23 ! Well done.

Wales is north, They got good chance

Great to see Solomone Kata out there. Played for the iconic 2017 MMT squad at the league world cup, and now for the Ikale Tahi in the RWC. Awesome!

Richtige Kämpfer! Das Spiel war wegen der Einstellung richtig stark! Tonga 🇹🇴 are fighters on Field!

1. Haka 2.Siva Tau 3.Sipi Tau 4.Cibi Traditional dances before games rated

The traditional Fijian War Dance is called the Cibi! Cheers from a Fijian in the Rockies! 😁😊🇫🇯

It’s a cibi. The C in Fijian language is pronounced as a “Th” sound 😊

I heard the Aussies are tryina do their aboriginal dance now lmao

@@Fakeslimshady hahhaha, its gonna become a usual thing for all countries to dance their traditional battle dance before a rugby match😅

@@skojuzija Yeah as long as its not a white man dance eh?

Bundee’s death stare at 0:57 💀

Well played Tonga but no chance

Makes me feel proud like almost tears abd im not even tongan

Great tonga! love haka

In 1939, after Germany's aggression against Poland, the Kingdom of Tonga was one of the first countries to declare war on Germany. Then, as part of a public fundraising campaign, the Tongan public donated two Spitfire fighters. The Kingdom was then headed by Queen Sālote Tupou III. Poland respect for Tonga

Then lost by 60 smh I just want to see Tonga make it to the knockout stage and win once…just once! I guess we wait another 4 years lmao 🤣💀 🇹🇴

LOL that Tongan guy in the Irish team felt guilty and angry at the same time

👏👏👏👏❤TONGA.

Brilliant👏🏾👏🏾

Sipi tau 💪🏻

Irish fans aren’t singing over it like they did with the Haka when they played NZ

I'm a big Irish rugby fan but this mockery of Sipi Tau and Tonga in the comment section is embarrassing. With the budget and the players that IRFU has, you better get past the quarters and win the cup, or you will be the laughing stock.

Team Tonga!

Bundee Akee breaks the fourth wall

That’s 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴❤️

Aki probably reciting in his head.

Bundee is Samoan.

Sipi tau in silozi means iron lion

lol Ireland destroyed them 😂

Ireland🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

No Hakka ?

0:44 Don't Jim the camera Bundee

Aki wanted to go home

Less dancing more practicing 😂😂

The ref doesn't know where to position himself.

All that for 16 points....

Solomona kata from rugby league

1.cibi. 2.sipi tau. 3.siva tau haka

Why did the camera keep focusing on the one pacific ethnic guy on the opposing team?

All this just lose is sad reality

Los pumas 🇦🇷🤍💪💪🐆

Big Bad Bundee

He should play for Samoa he looks weird in the Ireland jersey 😂

​@@andrewpatu1428😂 i thought they were growing Polynesians now in the potato fields of Ireland

Too bad Tonga Loss fuu elo aupito 😂

Have faith toko it's only 1 game will have a laugh at them if they lose to romania

better than all blacks i reckon lol greetings from Sydney Australia

No offence but its kind of funny that the pacific nations have their own "haka" but then they get destroyed by any decent team

It's called culture and tradition my friend. Look it up

High expectations for a country with a population of literally just 100k or did u forget that?

It’s not a show of dominance.

It's call culture where they come from you got to respect the brothers where we a coming from don't be stupid with your comments pls share the love don't hate us ❤ GOODLUCK 🇼🇸 🇫🇯🇹🇴

Tonga is a 3rd world country with less than 100k population. It’s actually amazing that there’s Tongan/Samoan players representing other nations in the RWC. Japan, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England, Italy, France, Romania and obviously Australia and NZ. You can say they get destroyed but they do make up a lot of rosters around the world. Imagine if Tonga, Fiji and Samoa had the same financial support as Ireland. Players wouldn’t feel the need to leave their homeland. They’d be unstoppable

Tonga need to spend more time learning to play the game and less time on the Sipi Tau....no offence.

100k population...

Imagine if Tonga had the same financial support and resources as Ireland. They’d be able to spend more time together and get more scheduled test matches

Lmao Agreed 😅

@@BrandonCockridge18 financial resources have nothing to do with tackling, kicking, passing...and a fundamental understanding of the rules of the game. Oh and conditioning...very poor, add that to the list of excuses.

@@Balimuca1272 then don't play in the world cup...play at home in league play and enjoy your community ball.

Hi

Its cool and all but it doesnt have the same feel as the haka. When you face the haka you know you face the best, the final boss if you will. When you face the sipi tau... meh

LOL

This is how USA basketball felt when they faced NZ haka in the FIBA World Cup

@@BrandonCockridge18 The tall blacks haka sucks too so there's also that

@@tumatauenga6433 Its a cultural tradition. Its not a contest to see who does the best "haka"

@@BrandonCockridge18 Oh I love it when pakehas tell me about my own culture... please, do go on...

Bla bla bla 😆
