Ma’a Nonu’s Haka Against the All Blacks Had Me in Tears 🇳🇿

A Springbok supporter here, I felt the emotion. For me it was the most amazing moment that I've ever seen in Rugby.

One of the most beautiful moments in Rugby I've ever witnessed...

A brother, facing his younger brothers

Nonu doing the answering haka stunned me as a Southern African - it left a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. It was probably one of the most memorable occasions ever in rugby. We, here really appreciate the AB's as our true rugby opponents. My sentiments are with you.

Kiwi girl who has watched the haka for 7+ decades but this brought heartfelt tears to me too. What a moment !!

None of were ready for this bro... Not even Saffas. Mad respect for Nonu...

Bro.... Thank you South Africa for letting this happen,your one country that understands us. Emotional as 😭😭😭

You can see the love Nonu has for that black Jersey and the emotions on everyone of those AB’s players sharing a moment with the last of the great legends. He was handing over the torch. South Africans were blessed to see this legend. What Aura he still has. Blesss him and his family

I'm a Saffa. Someone who sees & recognizes Mr Nonu as a great, one of the best. His presence felt, his power etched, his legacy honoured.... my tears, too, were spelled for this great man of our game. God bless NZ. Aotearoa, the beautiful land of the long white cloud. ( I too was taken & lost in tears my friend.)

One of the most beautiful moments in our game and will be talked about for years

Amazing video my man! ..I fully respect and understand the pride and emotion you have for this moment..I choked up...as a saffa, my respect for the ABs just reached new heights...this is the greatest rivalry ..now, forever and without a doubt!

Ma’a knew that it was one battle that he was not going to win but he stood up to the challenge as is customary in Polynesian culture.

I'm looking at it for the 3rd time. My tears are flowing for the 3rd time. I'm a die hard Springbok fan and I still can't get over that. Love the emotions attached to his challenge

WOW!! 😢 I know that today whoever watched the All Blacks vs Sharks game witnessed for me probably one of the proudest moments in my life to be a kiwi. This IS a moment of true history and I will never forget this. I was an emotional mess in a good way and I’m tearing up writing this. Ma you are a true legend. One we will not see the likes of again. Never will we behold such a moment in our great game. I humbly acknowledge your mana, your strength and guts to do what you have done. This is what been a kiwis all about bro. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I would stand by you and go to war for this man. KIA KAHA! A true warrior!!
