Desperately poor from Joe, and hugely disrespectful to the All Blacks.
Nothing to see here, just a bit of panto before Saturday’s game. Don’t be so preciousDesperately poor from Joe, and hugely disrespectful to the All Blacks.
How DARE you not stand still and watch us while we dance around a bit!Desperately poor from Joe, and hugely disrespectful to the All Blacks.
Oh this would be fabulous. Can they bring on a big plastic Maypole and dance around that perhaps, then sacrifice the ref to the Harvest Gods in a giant wicker man?I think England should Morris Dance in retaliation.
Don’t bite and feed the troll, just enjoy the irreverenceNothing to see here, just a bit of panto before Saturday’s game. Don’t be so precious
I think the England players should be able to stand there and flick V's at them. Its part of English history/culture. Surely the same rules should apply?I think England should Morris Dance in retaliation.
'wanka' signs, shirley?I think the England players should be able to stand there and flick V's at them. Its part of English history/culture. Surely the same rules should apply?
I think that sort of flair should be down to the captain. A bit like the Haka, we have different variations of it.'wanka' signs, shirley?

Maybe the All Blacks doing the Haka to opposing teams is hugely disrespectful to the All Blacks. Why should they be allowed to do it? Why can the opposing team not just walk away from it laughing?Desperately poor from Joe, and hugely disrespectful to the All Blacks.
Really….i thought the crowd chanted Swing Low Sweet Chariot quite loudly during the Haka…and loved it when the England team advanced to the half way lineI think that's what you call karma, 24-22 to the mighty All Blacks and the audience absolutely lapped up the Haka.
I worked for a printer in lewes many years ago and we printed telephone cards ( remember them before mobile phones) anyway one of our largest customers was New Zealand telecom and they sent over a sales team to review the contract etc.I don’t follow rugby but it’s always felt odd that the opposition are essentially forced to watch the other team intimidate them
Personally I think all New Zealand sportspeople should be made to do it before competing. Liam Lawson should do it on the start line of every Grand Prix. Kane Williamson should have to lead it on the outfield before his team take on England in a Lord’s test match. The women’s netball team should do it on court.
Don’t get me wrong, I think the Haka is great and about the only bit of rugby I’d bother watching, just strikes me as odd the opposition are forced to watch it. It’d be like every visiting team at Anfield being forced to stand in front of the Kop for them singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.I worked for a printer in lewes many years ago and we printed telephone cards ( remember them before mobile phones) anyway one of our largest customers was New Zealand telecom and they sent over a sales team to review the contract etc.
my audit clerk was a new Zealander and when she heard they were coming, she and a fellow kiwi employee on the shop floor, welcomed the delegation in the reception area with a HAKA. It represented the safe passage from home, the social interaction of the group with its hosts and the invitation to enjoy our hospitality. It was very moving.
some of the comments on here trashing cultural norms that have been performed for thousands of years is typical of this countries lack of social identity.
