man - i remember learning and preforming this for the first time when i was about 6 at school. i felt like i was the size of the hulk- now i've got kids, and watching the games my kids are asking me to teach them, but i just feel like a silly white guy around the world from home...

A war dance/ritual which has existed in local and international rugby matches since 1906...

So the white guys in this are celebrating the slaughter of their ancestors?
A strange conviction to set in mind before a match.

Sigh. Political correctness gone mad.

Its symbolic and engrained in our culture, deal with it.

I bloody love the Haka. Best thing in Rugby! I'm jealous the Welsh don't have one. Sure, there are some aggressive moves in there but it's a brutal sport and it is representing their warrior ancestry. What country doesn't have a past with "unspeakable conduct".
The UK ruled the world down the barrel of a gun for centuries and the Spanish almost killed everyone in South America! What the Aussies did to Aborigines was pretty disgusting too.
- Except the English don't bring out muskets for a dance before their matches, and the Spanish suck at rugbyrosskemp

"If some of the All Blacks persist in ending this latest version of the haka with a throat-slitting motion, they will be using a very big stage to remind people the Maoris once engaged in unspeakable conduct, which we don't discuss any more."
I for one reckon the Wallabies should have brought out a few beers and belted out a rendition of Khe Sanh.
