:agree:

The ref didn't know what to do...


..."turn around right now, I want to start the game"

roughly translated as "mum, the big boys won't listen to me and I am starting to feel inadequite":greengrin

Good though (if as the comentator said, they see it through). What was the score?

Wales 9-29 New Zealand :tee hee:

If you've not seen the Kiwi's do this, either at Rugby Union or League, i would recommend trying to watch this in person. The hairs literally stand up, its that good.

You can actually see some of the opposition players standing there and they some of them look petrified at what's happening.

Its pathetic, fully grown men doing that. If a team done that to me I would just laugh at them. Can you imagine Hibs and Hearts players doing that before a derby. :bye:

I think it looks pretty cool actually. :agree:

I'd like to see you say that to their faces.

HOW???

It's a tradition.

Some of them do it before you are welcomed into their house in NZ.

**** all wrong with it, it's them putting down a challenge.

The modern daya haka is an incredible thing to watch, but some of the old footage is just magic :greengrin

Has the Haka been changed? I saw a couple of games recently and it's not how I remember it.

:hilarious They're brutal! The one in colour's hilarious - they're all looking about like to make sure they're doing the right thing and they're all at different times! Tremendous.

Here's someone else challenging the Haka. (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BFhtPocSiJY)

The crowd at the Rugby League Cup Final went nuts this year when this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UuXmk4tVoSE&feature=related) happened

[Houchy]

I'm surprised that some scottish comedian hasn't done a parody where England are playing the All Blacks. The All Blacks do their Haka then the English counter by pulling out sticks and start Morris Dancing.:greengrin

Seeing as you'll probably never have the honour of facing a haka then you wont have to worry, those that have faced one will have a memory that will last their lifetime :agree:

If I want to go and see and see fully grown men dancing about like prats ill go up town on a Saturday night.

During the Munster v All Blacks game a few weeks back this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=D8hzfrTPo6E&feature=related) happened. The Munster players from new Zealand did it before the All Blacks, listen how quiet the crowd is during the All Blacks one.

Also, at the Millenium stadium last year, the welsh said that the haka gave an unfair advantage so could only be performed between anthems (so the welsh could respond by singing :bye:).

The All blacks performed it in their changing room Here (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bh8ccDtcoac).

Actually the WRU asked the ABs to recreate what happened in the first Wales/ABs match as it was the centenary celebration of it

That was the year before, 2005. To celebrate the centenary, which the ABs agreed to under the impression it was a one off.
