How to do the Haka: Master the fearsome Maori dance in 11 Steps (with pictures)
The original - and best known - Haka that the New Zealand team perform before matches is called Ka Mate Ka Mate and is illustrated above.
There is also a controversial new Haka called the Kapa O Pango, which has an even more fearsome throat-slitting gesture at the end - but this tends to be reserved for special occasions.
The haka that the Kiwis perform is only decided by the leadership group the night before the game.
