I always think they look ridiculous and i doubt i'd be able to stop smirking tbh.
The Haka

Wise men say only fools..
I love the Haka and its place in international rugby. What should the opposition teams do..?? Well I think that it is unfair that they have to respectfully line up and watch it. Let the opposition warm up in their own half and ignore the haka if they want. Or do what Willie Anderson did when captaining Ireland, link arms march up to Zinzam Brooke and stare the fuckers down. Or as we are English we could just continue our tradition when playing the ABs of rolling on our backs waving our legs in the air. Worrying fact, no European team has beaten a southern hemisphere team this autumn.
That's nice, if only we could dream of reaching the integrated intellectual heights expressed in your last couple of posts.
Shame you don't extend your integration to the Asian citizens in your midst, how the NZ Suppression of Terrorism Act is typically used against the Maori, how your nation welcomes the W. Indian cricket team with the charming slogan "It's all white here", Paul Moon's book "This Horrid Practice" and Auckland University of Technology's defence of it, Peter de Villiers claiming racism is rife in New Zealand, and Massey University producing a report decried as "...racism to the max" but try not to let on about any of that eh? Stick with the neo-mystical land of milk & honey angle, much better for tourism.
Funny example that, as Winston Peters is Maori himself.

i reckon everyone should do the hustle as a responce, or a bit of big fish little fish cardboard box action.
Or everyone should learn to break dance so they can serve them with thier original moves.

excellent idea. Perhaps don some baggy trousers and lay the smack down on them with some MC Hammer style moves
hammer time!

the problem with impersonating mr hammer is that if your white your actually impersenating vanilla ice. His real surname is winkle.
Not good.

Hmmmm. The whole debate about white people impersonating non-white dances is particularly apposite when it comes to discussions about the Haka

No problems with people copying people of other races just pointing out that copying vanilla ice makes you lame.

No problems here, either. It just undermines the 'spirituality' claim that little bit more.

So, when was the last time you were in NZ then Ben? Or a world cup semi final for that matter?
To the geezer who posted a picture of Winston Peters as an example of how disintegrated kiwi culture is, well. Ignorance is probably your only excuse. The guy is a Maori. He's also been a very senior politician down there for well over a decade.
I guess the fact that you didn't actually realise he's a Maori illustrates how integrated the culture is. It never even used to occur to me for instance that my boss was a Maori or Samoan. It just never mattered. It wasn't till I got to these fair isles and realised that the only brown faces I worked with were the security guards on my way into a building that I noticed the massive contrast in racial unity between the two nations.
To understand the haka and its place in kiwi culture I suggest you try living there, or at least paying a lengthy visit.

And if my stance needed any further reinforcing, please step forward prize, arrogant Kiwi twunt, Ma'a Nonu:
Fuck off Ma'a you great, reeking pillock! This exemplifies it all. We choose to respond to their fucking pixie dance in the manner of our choosing on our pitch in front of 70-odd thousand of our crowd and the cunt starts bleating on about being 'wound up'.
From here
So, once more, lets get this right:
*The ABs have the right to do the haka on other people's rugby pitches. This can include the throat slitting and ball cutting gestures.
* To ask them to do it before the anthem of the home side is an insult
* To pick a piece of the turf from the stadium and throw it in the air is an insult
* To carry on warming up irrespective of their prancings is an insult
* To stand silently and face them on your home ground, and to wait for them to turn their backs first is an insult
And for anyone not sure about this 'spirituality' wank, Ma'a reckons that all of New Zealand's feelings would have been hurt by any response that doesn't fit the narrow parameters that those cunts set.
He then has the audacity to state that standing in the way that Wales did, in response to their fucking 'war dance' was 'asking for a fight'.
You couldn't make it up.
What a cunt.
What a bunch of cunts.
Ban the fucking thing now!

Yawn
Care to respond to any of the above bullet points?

I already have in some length. The general feeling in NZ seems to be that the Welsh response was great. Nonu is indeed a prize cock for the comments posted above.
Eh?
