This is what the All Blacks Rugby team from New Zealand has done before their matches since 1888(supposedly). Its a traditional Maori war dance/chant. Haka is the general term for the dance/chant but their are various well known ones that the All Blacks have done. I think that the Ka Mate is their most widely known which is the one they are doing in that video. They've also done Kapa O Pango which is pretty famous, called the "cutthroat" because of the gesture they make at the end. I'm pretty sure they put that one together on their own. The only other one I've heard of that they've done was Tena Koe Kangaroo which they supposedly did in Australia and it called the Australians kangaroos. Just thought I'd share this pretty sweet tradition with everyone.

Also I am jealous that Aes has seen them do it many times.
