They are one of the best rugby teams in the world. The players of the All Blacks, New Zealand's national rugby team, are strong, smart and fast. But, as a matter of fact, they win many of their games before the first whistle even blows.

Before the game, during warm-ups, the All Blacks players gather in a semicircle. They stand with their captain in front of them and begin to dance. They hit their arms against their legs. They lift their feet into the air and slam them into the ground. They stick out their tongues and show the whites of their eyes. They shout ancient words and even scream. You may think they're crazy. And that is just what they want you to think.

The rugby players perform the haka, which is a traditional Maori (毛利人) dance. The Maoris are the native people of New Zealand and this dance has been used as a war dance since the 19th century.

Warriors originally performed the war dance before battles to show off their strength in order to intimidate the enemy. Rugby is a violent game that many fans have compared to war. What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance?

The 19th century French theorist Ernest Renan, one of the first real theorists who looked into the idea of nationalism, described the "nation" as "large-scale togetherness, made up of the feeling of sacrifices that one has made in the past and of those that one is prepared to make in the future".

And New Zealand's haka is one of the world's most perfect acts of nationalism. The haka, in its intensity, reflects it all: first, the unity of warriors-both of Maoris and non-maoris backgrounds-fighting for a common future, and then a recognition of the almost sacred past.

Today in New Zealand, the haka is still performed at many different gatherings and celebrations, a connection to Maori ancestors that has continued.
