World Rugby TV has labelled the All Blacks' haka before the 2011 Rugby World Cup final as the 'greatest ever haka'.
Ahead of the All Blacks' biggest match since the 1995 final, the side performed Kapa o Pango before winning the final 8-7.
The haka was met with a strong
response by the French players who initially formed an arrow before creeping closer and closer towards the All Blacks in a line.
The match is one of New Zealand's greatest results but is it the greatest haka?
Some would argue the French response before the 2007 World Cup quarter-final was better, and seemed to have an affect on the All Blacks who lost the match 20-18. The two teams were just a metre apart as the haka was taking place, which led to World Rugby changing the rules to ensure a bigger gap during pre-match war dances.
