It's a traditional war dance that became an interigral part of NZ rugby culture.

Yes its primative, violent and unsightly, but we LOVE rugby and apart from sailing its the only sport we are good at.

The haka is unique in sport. If everyone did something like it, then yeah... zzzz.

The maori culture is highly previlent in NZ. Personally I wouldn't be saddened in the least if the barbaric, racist, F***s were to become extinct.

I actually think they are the antithesis of multiculturlism and globalisation. they are the apitimy of reverse racism. They are united thus they pick on isolated white people.

But the haka is tradition and is NZ rugby, so it must prevail.

Of course it is done to intimidate the other team, just like the media war allways preceding a tri-nations match.
But it's allso the All Black signature, just like the Springbok or the Wallaby. If you take away the Hakka, you lose a piece of rugby tradition.

It may be a bit over he top, but i think the only teams that's really intimidated by it would be the less rated teams. I can't see a Springbok or a Wallaby team being scared off before a match. It might scare the English though.....

Yes you put up a good case but i think they could cut the throat slash which i think came in after the handbag advert.

The All Blacks do their Haka, and the Aussies play "Waltzing Matilda". I know which I would rather witness.
