[Other Sport] Haka (or not)

[Auckland seagull]

I used to love the haka when I first moved to NZ, but it takes an unusually good performance to rouse me now. I understand the cultural significance and always respect it, but I have seen it over used on too many occasions now. I'd like to see it saved for instances of real significance when the full aura of the haka is incredibly powerful.

I prefer the rugby Samoan war dance than the NZ haka. I do like Haka and I don’t like it when other rugby nations disrespect it. But people like that woman in politics who abuse it have really given the haka a bad name to a lot of people.
