comparison

The morris dances and the haka are very different and very hard to compare. The haka tends to use more brutal and forceful gestures whereas morris dancing is very jolly and it isn't used before a rugby match. THey are similar in some ways though; as they both involve props (sticks/spears) and they both use very traditional costumes they are also very cultural dances as they are quite traditional and very much to do with their own countries. Morris dancing and the Haka are both used for both formal and social occasions.
