It’s not the All Black, but it works. Trinity High School, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, has a sizable Tongan population. The school’s football team adopted the haka as part of their pre-game rituals.
Voice of Tonga says, “Trinity’s Trojan football team legitimized the Haka at the high school level and within the State of Texas. Its a welcome addition to a team which made up of individuals with diverse background. Its symbolized a sense of unity with actions toward a common purpose.”
Rock on, guys.

Sorry…. I really don’t mean to be rude…but this is the worst haka I’ve seen…..the words are wrong ,sounds like some are just made up and the actions are also all wrong too…..As a Maori I find this very insulting to my culture…..If your going to insist on doing it please do it RIGHT!!!
