The haka is a nice little dance, but the scottish should do a crossed swords dance and the Ozzies should do a drunken dance as well.
haka... pfffft!

Those f*cken things should be banned properly. They're starting to appear in club rugby now. I asked Rob Cashman, a physio for a couple of NZ teams (notably Softball) and he cannot see any benefit from having a forearm strapped like that other than to protect from prior bruising.

What's the game coming to when you have to run a metal detector over the players before they take the feild? Any given sunday....

I'm surprised that the new haka is acceptable to Auntie Helen and her lesbian sidekicks. Thought that Morris dancing would have been more politically correct.

**Colapop** · 27th July 2006, 17:46

Shouldn't that be Maurice dancing...?

Is the world becoming more pathetic or is it just me?

Well if it was up to me I'd be giving them the brown eye. That has the same meaning in all cultures.

I like the new haka because they actually do it with a bit of passion. Ka Mate was getting a bit old and they really didn't get into it. Wich may be why the aussies don't like the new one. It scares them again lol.
