What? We, as a nation, don't have anything like this therefore we should ban everyone else from doing it? Give over. |

I like Kapa O Pango provided they do the throat slit but the RU version of Ka Mate is best.
Quite like the Samoan Sive Tau as a war dance

Why don't we reply with a full on team display of Gangham Style? |

Just to be clear, the Hakas are nothing to do with Rugby Union. They are traditional to teh countries, and there are various types.
A couple of years ago the Kiwis said the traditional New Zealand Haka is actually a victory dance and wasn't really appropriate for a prematch Haka
Either way, I think it is a great traditiona nd has added extra colour and excitement to the world cup.

I cannot find details at the moment, but the Aussies did a variation of the Haka in the early years of the last century. Bring it back!

I remember seeing that. It might have been on a history of rugby video or something. |

Have to agree with this after seeing it live at Wembley yesterday.
The key thing was their voices were very good.
Having had some choir singing before (pretty averagely) it was amazing to hear some tuneful voices with no musical backing singing a hymn beautifully. The togetherness, emotion and enjoyment amongst the players was great....really impressive IMO. |
