The Haka
Tha Haka... more commonly known as "Ka Mate Ka Mate" to non- uncool(LoL) New Zealander's. The Haka is traditionally a Māori war Dance, but is now tradition for the All Blacks to perform a Haka before each and every match.
The Te Rauparaha (Ka Mate) haka generally opens with a set of five preparatory instructions shouted by the leader, before the whole team joins in:
English Translation
Māori
Ringa pakia!
Uma tiraha!
Turi whatia!
Hope whai ake!
Waewae takahia kia kino!
Ka mate, ka mate
Ka ora, ka ora
Ka mate, ka mate
Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te rā
Ā upane, ka upane
Ā upane, ka upane
Whiti te rā, hīe!
Slap the hands against the thighs!
Puff out the chest!
Bend the knees!
Let the hip follow!
’Tis death, ‘tis death
’Tis death, ‘tis death
’Tis life, ‘tis life
There is the man so hairy…
who brought the sun and caused it to shine
A step, another step
A step, another step
The sun shines!

The All Blacks also have a new Haka that is performed before special Test Matches. This is called the Kapo o Pango.
English Translation
Kapa o pango kia whakawhenua au i ahau!
Hi aue, hi!
Ko Aotearoa e ngunguru nei!
Au, au, aue ha!
Ko Kapa o Pango e ngunguru nei!
Au, au, aue ha!
I ahaha! Ka tu te ihiihi
Ka tu te wanawana
Ki runga ki te rangi e tu iho nei,
tu iho nei, hi!
Ponga ra!
Kapa o Pango, aue hi!
Ponga ra!
Kapa o Pango, aue hi, ha!
Let me become one with the land
This is our land that rumbles
And it's my time! It's my moment!
This defines us as the All Blacks
It's my time! It's my moment!
Our dominance
Our supremacy will triumph
And will be placed on high
Silver fern!
All Blacks!
Silver Fern!
All Blacks!
