gurge 0 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 The haka can be a bit much but it is in our heritage. It is what it is and in the right circumstances when done with passion is quite enjoyable to watch. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 The haka is OK, but they are in danger of overexposing it. Even good sex more than 20 times a day can get tiresome. I got sick of school prizegivings where every time a maori kid got a prize there was a 10 min haka interlude - prizegivings drag on enough as it is.. I suggested to Angela that next time ours won something we should jump on stage and dance merengue - after all it is an important part of their cultural heritage Link to post Share on other sites

And damn straight - go Team New Zealand Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 ALL BLACKS BANNED FROM HAKA. The AB's management have banned the team from doing the haka. Following reports in the latest FBS Med magazine that Testicapitis can be caused by extreme dancing, management reviewed video exray ( as used in US airports ) of Richie while leading the haka on Saturday 7th against Argentina. Testicapitis is common in men with 'big balls' such as rugby players and extreme sportsmen. ( no cases have been reported in England ). When extreme dancing takes place and a testicle bangs against the inner leg just above the knee sending shock waves through the gonad nerve to the knee cap resulting in severe pain and making walking or running uncomfortable. Richie was removed from the field to receive medical treatment and has been banned from playing for at least 4 weeks. AB's management has replaced the haka with some guy 'Tait' who will sit on a horse in top hat and coat tails while singing 'god save the queen' Link to post Share on other sites
