I wonder what Wales will have in response to the haka this weekend... 2008
was pretty lame, they just stood there like stunned mullets, delaying the
game even more. In 2006 the Welsh Rugby Union had a cry about the timing of
the haka and it was performed in the change room. Youtube below:

In both cases Wales were belted by 30 points, or thereabouts. Game on,
fuckers!

Where it JUST you I could dismiss this as excitable fanboy chatter but
it's not.

Don't you think it's sad that the haka has become almost as talked about
as the game?

Only in Wales, I don't remember the haka being so controversial in any other
arena... This decade anyway. Wales were good 100 years ago and briefly 60
years ago.... but these days they're just shite and they should behave
accordingly!

A great grandfather on my fathers side was welsh but you posted on a
public forum therefore anyone has the right to respond, welsh or not.

Just about every other match the ABs play someone seems to disrespect
it, they either tun their backs, stare too hard or just want to have a
sing song afterward.

Just out of curiosity, how should they behave mg?

not answering for mg ( in any way ) the Haka should be with the cultural

If they feel up to the challenge they may perform a traditional folk dance,
with top hats and canes.

But not AFTER the haka, right? Last time someone tried to get the last
'word' the AB threw their collective handbags out of the pram.

BTW not a top hat in sight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIOS19WzEZM

Uh. It's entirely commonplace for other countries with challenges -
e.g. Samoa, Tonga, Fiji - to do theirs at the same time as the Haka.

The Welsh should do what Twickenham did last year with "Swing Low" and drown
it out with their own song. If the Haka is a challenge, then the
"challenged" should be allowed to reply how they see fit. The AB's always
want to have it their way or else throw a tantrum.

The expected response of a person with barely enough functioning
synapses to know the difference between how words and their component
parts combine to form sentences and what words actually mean.

But yet again de chuckwit has drawn another into the pit of death
instead of actually addressing the point raised. I'll escape whilst
possible. Respond at your leisure you dribbling baboon.

Oh bollocks, when was I "proven to be a full on bullshitter" ... I must have
missed that thread.

You're spot on about Sydney and steak though, you're just jealous - you live
in Arizona and enjoy gumbo.

For the record I agree, I think it gives the All Blacks an unfair advantage.
I'd be ok with it being restricted to the change room for away games, good
luck trying to remove it from a home game though.

Tell you what, I would demand my money back if I should ever pay to

So if the welsh boys dance WITH them the AB won't go off and dance in
the dressing room?

Problem solved, maybe they can meet after the game and exchange makeup
and hair grooming tips as well.

Well Chard wouldn't have had anything to do with forming up in ranks
under normal circumstances, he was a Royal Engineers officer, but, he
was senior to Bromhead and therefore assumed command. Incidentally the
soldiers were not all Welsh either, the 24th of foot Regimental number
was taken by the South Wales Borderers but most of Bromhead's men were
from Shropshire, Harry Hook was a Londoner and later a Sergeant in the
1st (Volunteer) Batallion 7th of Foot, the Royal Fusiliers
(Coincidentally Chard's uncle was a Colonel in the Royal Fusiliers),
Fred Hitch was also a Londer and became a London Cabby.

I served in the successor to 1st (Volunteer) Batallion 7th of Foot at
Balham in London

Jeez, John - give us a break. We spend 5 minutes expressing our
culture and you have a cow. Then your lot goes and spends the next 80
minutes expressing their culture by losing, and do you hear a peep
from us? No, you do not. It's just what you do and we accept that.

Other teams can do what they want. And honestly, when have you ever
seen a thread on RSRU about "disrespecting the haka"? What a load of
rot - google one up if you can. You'll find way more threads from the
likes of yourself and John Hill about how it annoys you, but bugger

Rubbish. Think All Blacks, think the Haka. Even people who don't know
rugby know about the Haka and the All Blacks. It may be a cultural
"thing" for many New Zealanders, but it's a rugby icon for pretty much
the rest of the world. It is indelibly associated with rugby and the
All Blacks, and that, I'm guessing, is precisely why it winds you up
so much.

As long as the AB's don't do the Te Rauparaha cowardly lament - who
gives a toss.

Just get on with the freeking game - dancing around shouting about
hiding in a kumera pit looking at an old womens twat while the
neighbouring tribe that you had just raided, killed and eaten a couple
of their warriors is searching for you - is not an appropriate way to
start an international rugby match.

>The British were prudes concerning sexual stories, so they were told that the first section of the haka explained how the incantations of his enemies were absorbed by Te Rangikoaea, while the second section told how Te Rauparaha had to whisper to her to prevent her moving away to her sleeping hut to satisfy her sexually aroused husband.

He was faced with a vigilante group who would have annihilated his entire village if they had got an inkling that he was assisting Te Rauparaha. However this explanation of the words allowed the haka to be used in the presence of British settlers whose distorted morality condemned sexual frankness, even though they approved of wholesale land theft.

Actually - the best steak doesn't make it to the saleyards. It gets
cut up and placed in my in-laws freezer where I would liberally help
myself to the best cuts. ;)

How so? When wales wanted to answer the AB by singing a traditional
welsh hymm the AB flounced off to the dressing room.

MAYBE as a compromise the welsh sing at the same time? Bread of Heaven
isn't what I would call a dance track but I'm sure the AB choreographers
could make it work: ".... shake it Richie, shake it ... that's it Danny,
you work it girl .... and step and step, turn and jazz hands .... smile
Nonu you miserable breeder!"
