Springboks Vs. All Blacks: Watch New Zealand Rugby Do The Haka
New Zealand Rugby traveled to Cape Town to play the South Africa in The Rugby Championship and did the Haka in front of the sold out crowd.
After a heartbreaking loss to South Africa in the meeting against the Springboks on Aug. 31, the New Zealand All Blacks met the World's No. 1-ranked team again in Cape Town, South Africa for the final meeting of the two in The 2024 Rugby Championship.
The All Blacks lost 31-27 in the first meeting in what has been an up and down Rugby Championship stretch. But the All Blacks seemingly had the Springboks on the ropes in the first game before a rally.

The sellout crowd saw the All Blacks do their traditional Haka dance before the match.
DHL Stadium is the home of the DHL Stormers of the United Rugby Championship, which is streaming on FloRugby later this month.

Why Does New Zealand Rugby Do The Haka?
The New Zealand national rugby team, known as the All Blacks, is one of the most successful and iconic teams in rugby history. Renowned for their dominant performances and powerful style of play, they have won multiple Rugby World Cups.
One of the team’s most famous traditions is performing the Haka, a ceremonial Māori dance, before matches.
The Haka is used to challenge opponents and display unity, strength and pride. It involves synchronized movements, chants and fierce expressions, making it an unforgettable pre-game ritual that is closely tied to the team’s identity and New Zealand’s indigenous culture.
