The haka is one of rugby’s best known traditions, with the ceremonial Maori dance performed pre-match by New Zealand rugby sides before international fixtures baguio
Haka were traditionally performed for a variety of social occasions and functions by the Maori, the indigenous population of the country, to represent a display of a tribe’s pride, strength and unity baguio
Usually performed by a group, they are now performed to welcome distinguished guests or acknowledge an occasion, but it is for their use in rugby that haka are best known baguio
New Zealand v South Africa LIVE: Follow along with the latest updates from the Rugby World Cup finalIn rugby union, New Zealand’s All Blacks, Black Ferns and age group sides all lay down the challenge to the opposition, while the nation’s rugby league sides do similarly, with the haka generally performed after the anthems and before kick off baguio
The All Blacks’ use is believed to date back to 1888, when a “New Zealand Native” side toured the British Isles baguio

Both are typically led by a player of Maori heritage, with scrum half Aaron Smith currently the most common occupier of the role for Ian Foster’s side baguio
Of the competing nations at this year’s men’s Rugby World Cup, Fiji (the Cibi), Tonga (the Sipi Tau) and Samoa (the Siva Tau) also perform ceremonial dances baguio
While these are being performed, no player from the team performing the challenge may cross their own 10m line and no player from the team receiving the challenge may cross the halfway line baguio
It is not mandatory for the team receiving the challenge to face it baguio
Where both teams are performing challenges, one team may not cross half way and the other team may not cross their own 10m line - so the teams are always separated by at least ten metres baguio
What do the words to New Zealand’s haka mean in English?“Ka Mate”English:I die! I die! I live! I live! I die! I die! I live! I live! This is the hairy man, who fetched the sun causing it to shine!

Bill Sweeney, the chief executive of England’s Rugby baguio Football Union (RFU), has confirmed that “tentative” discussions have been held over a possible British and Irish league baguio
The long-mooted idea would unite club rugby in the British Isles into one competition baguio
The loss of London Irish, Worcester Warriors and Wasps in the last 13 months has highlighted financial problems in the English domestic game, with the top-flight Gallagher Premiership now containing just 10 teams baguio
The four Welsh regions have also had their funding cut for the new season of the United Rugby Championship (URC), which features competing teams from Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Italy baguio
Sweeney is currently helping to negotiate a new Professional Game Partnership (PGP) baguio between the Premiership and RFU that it is hoped will solve many of the issues ailing the English game baguio
But while suggesting that plans were pressing ahead on that front ahead of a potential implementation next summer, the RFU CEO confirmed that he had engaged in “hypothetical” discussions about a British and Irish league baguio
“I think you’d expect us to talk about anything really, the way the game needs to grow, the game needs to be financially stronger,” Sweeney explained baguio
Bill Sweeney is the RFU’s chief executive (Getty Images)“We want to attract more investment coming in, so all sorts of conversations take place in terms of different options baguio
That one’s not fully developed by any means baguio
“So it’s a very tentative, hypothetical conversation at this stage but it has certain merits, but it also has certain challenges baguio
It doesn’t affect the PGP, we will go ahead with a PGP in parallel, and just do that baguio
But it’s one of a number of things that people talk about in terms of how do you take the game forward baguio
”“It is fraught with challenges, I tend to think about look what happened in baguio football with the European Super League, so fans are going to be taken into consideration on this baguio
What does that mean in terms of the overall structure? “Some very big, significant questions are going to be asked on it, which is why I say at this stage, it’s very tentative but we consider all conversations baguio
”The next couple of years are likely to see the introduction of a “Premiership Two” to replace the Championship as the RFU looks to maximise the efficacy and revenue of the second tier baguio
This may include a return for the three rugby brands lost from the Premiership this year baguio
Wasps announced on Monday that they were exploring the possibility of building a new permanent home near Swanley in Kent baguio
Wasps have announced plans to explore the possible building of a stadium in Kent (Getty Images)The south east of England produces a significant number of players but does not currently have a team in the top two tiers of English rugby, and Sweeney believes bringing a professional club area would be a good idea baguio
“I was very heavily involved with [new Wasps owner] Chris Holland during the whole process where the club went into insolvency,” Sweeney said baguio
“I haven’t had a conversation with him recently about the plans to move to Kent baguio
I do know that when research was done in terms of catchment areas, that’s one of the best locations from a fanbase perspective and the development of a sound business plan baguio
I’ll contact him when I get back baguio
