    Yes Dave. It's also customary to tweak their nipple while saying to them, in a Maori accent, "you iz my biatch".

    Please ask your wife to video the next game, particularly the 'tweaking'.

    I'm sure many of us would enjoy watching it.

    Good luck.

    All the boys came up grabbed my hand, cupped it and lowered the shoulder sort of 'bump into you' style.

    Just wondering, is it culturally correct for whitey to do the same back? I'm down with it.
    Of course it is, don't listen to the drop kicks on this site that know diddly-squat!!
    I kicked around with a bunch of 'bros' while the Training College, I was about 20-30 years older than them but I got accepted by them, got invited to every 'bro' type event, I'm as white as a huhu grub but they saw through that and saw through to the 'true' me and just fitted me in with them.
    Just ask, they would be flattered you made the effort.

    If I'm talking shit I'm sure 'somebody' will correct me!!

    Maaate - I can't do any accent but 'strine' and she stopped coming to watch me play 20 years ago.
    Besides - gotta feel sorry for the 6'4" 110kg little fellas - The big man already 'schooled 'em' in the paint. bitch.

    Yeah, I know where you're coming from, those weeny 105kg types were hopeless at climbing over walls/up ropes after this skinny (80kg) white boy!!!!
    Besides, a 'big' guy = a 'big' target!!

    Would you think twice if a white guy shook your hand and said "thank's mate, good game!"? Would they?

    Exactly, different cultures............bro. I'm a pom and you feckers talk and act funny to me, but the hangin with the "bro's" down at my rugby club is where I am comfortable. Just remember, they wouldn't bother if they didn't respect you and expect the same back, so just be yourself. And if if you feel like doing the high handshake and shoulder bump, just do it. Else just shake, it's all the same to you, I and them at the end of the day. They're not gonna bat an eyelid.

    I did that once in the Army and nearly got my head kicked in for it. Apparently (as I was told), the individual of Maori descent has to initiate the hug and you can do it. If not it can be classed as a challenge.

    I don't know if that is true or not but as the guy was my corporal and significantly bigger than myself, I believed him!

    What is it with Maori and this whole hip hop rip-off thing? What on earth do young Maori think that they have in common culturally with African Americans? I just don't get it.

    Skin colour. Apparently they claim to be "Brotha's?". I don't understand?

    Maybe they just like it. I like some of it - the non violent stuff.
    Some of it is 'game' - Basketballers have always had the coolest shit. Shoes, clothes etc.

    And whether the reality is perceived or otherwise - They identify with music that tells of the disenfranchised, displaced and the anger about it.

    When I see them in the USA hoody - I tell them they should take it back - the idiots have put the letters on the wrong way around - surely that should read 'AUS'.
