New Zealand Rugby

We just watched the end of the New Zealand vs Australia game in the Rugby World Cup (New Zealand won).  Maybe they got a little extra push because they perform a haka at the beginning of every game.  

What is a haka?  It is a traditional ancestral war dance of the Maori  - the indigenous people of New Zealand. 




I wonder if it makes their opponents feel more like they are going to battle than playing a game of rugby!
