Should the Black Caps do the haka?

[Zinzan]

I wasn't suggesting that they should or shouldn't do it. I was just interested to bring up a debate on it.

Fair enough...although I don't think anyone in their right mind seriously thinks they should

Are you sure about that Burkey, i've never heard them do it...

They do it.

That is how I have heard the Indian and Pakistani national anthems song before Tests (that is the only way I have heard them and I quite like them - doesn't go on forever unlike the Argentinian one)and I have them sing South Africa's and Englands - on day 1 on the last Ashes series here in Brisbane I heard them sing 'Advance Australia Fair' and 'God Save The Queen'.

I would love to see it Lords infront of the members! They would love it every minute of it

Great day that

But no, god no.

 

[Jono]

LOL! I want to see Chris Harris do that haka!

 

[simmy]

Hell yeah they should!

The haka is stupid enough in rugby. It's a game of rugby, not a friggin war. Then the other team is supposed to stand there and watch in awe, utterly ludicrous, if I were there I'd just walk off and chat with the other players and carry on with the pre-match warm-up routines.

Which fits in neatly with your many other posts of a "Daily Mail reader"

No respect for other nation's traditions.

Australia tried this once and were sorry they ever did it.

Since when was it a tradition to do war dances (or whatever type of dance it is) in a rugby game?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Regardless, if they do wanna prance around in their own warm-up time fine, but why should the other team have to stop what they're doing?

 

[marc71178]

What is the fact that they do it if not a tradition?

Be hilarious though, New Zealand start doing the Haka, and the whole other team pulls out deckchairs, puts on shades and grab a newspaper

Utter disrespect.

No. Daniel Vettori will not intimidate anyone.

I don't know. It might well suit him

 

[superkingdave]

looks like he's auditioning for a part in a dodgy movie

If Pakistan dominating England hasn't made my day, this certainly has.
