    Default Thank you Australia!

    Thank you Wallabies! Thank you to Michael and the boys -- Kurtley, Michael, Christian, Reece, Will...

    Thank you for brightening up my whole Saturday. I haven't been this entertained in years:



    I, a South African, thanks you, and the world of rugby thanks you, for shutting them up for once with, well...let's face it...quite the drubbing.

    And, basically plunging the very dangerous and intimidating "Haka" into relative obscurity.

    Times have Changed, The "HAKA" should be banned because only BLACK do it. Well they are called "ALL Blacks" Wonder If out team was called "ALL WHITES" I bet the winger would have something to complain about.

    Mr 672a there is a team called the all whites in nz for your up lifting of ignorance . The all blacks were named after a test at twickenham by the poms who had never seem such mobile forwards and called then called them all backs but the poms reporters got it wrong and called them all blacks as they were dirty when they left the field . the original haka was performed at the request of the poms in the 1907 game and has stuck ever since so wait another 16 times and maybe the wallabies can bribe another french ref to let them win again , seen as they cant win with even numbers in the team

    "All-Gold" would have been nice, but where I'm from, All-Gold is this:

    True freedom is the greatest gift a man can possess, yet is the one thing most easily and innocently given away, to crafty curses and binds cleverly disguised as blessings and gifts, in the pursuit of supposed achievement, status and power.

    I did not mean to hurt anyone's feelings with this.

    I actually like the Haka -- it's a convenient 5 minutes to grab a beer or have one last piss or shit before settling in for the 80-minute game. LOL

    Edit: In all seriousness though, especially in the upcoming RWC, if I were the ref of an NZ match, I would just blow the whistle and start the game and if they ask what's going on I would say we are all professionals here and there is no time for this dog-and-pony show. Sorry, but just my personal opinion, can't stand this "intimidation routine", it annoys me to no end.

    The HAKA to me is just a bit of entertainment pre-game. If they want to do it, let 'em. It means they've put some of their energy into that, and not into winning the game.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    I dunno, have you seen them go though? 80 minutes and they're not even sweating. I'm sure they're on something during their matches...
