Even though I am a Irish rugby supporter I do like seeing the haka.
Here is a youtube clip showing the All Blacks (New Zealand) performing the haka before the 2003 Rugby World Cup match with Tonga. Tonga has their own tribal war dance, the Sipi Tau, and Tonga interrupts the Haka to perform it. Brilliant. Great spectacle for the supporters and it really fires up the teams as well.

I love that video! Thanks, SteveC!
If you like that Haka, you should like these as well.
I assume the haka is to intimidate. Some teams aren't.
