Aussies are the most racist...get fucked. Of course there are some but go to Asia, the middle east, africa and parts of the US and tell me we are the most racist. That's offensive bullshit.
BTW, I do like the haka...I just find it odd the white blokes doing it as well that's all, And no sour grapes over the WC...considering you blokes haven't won one in 25 years, that's rich!
Go France...

Not only should it stay but every team should come up with their own war dance.

Amazing that such a small country is a world power in rugby.

Best sporting haka ever!!

new haka is pretty awesome. The end motion isn't a throat slit. but means something like drawing the power from the lungs to the sky. If you believe that. Dont think anyone should get upset, as after this in the game, you get players trying to kill each other. So no harm done really. Go the ABS!!!

drawing power from the lungs...LOL! They should just be honest and say it's a throat slit...it's all just a bit of theater anyway and should be encouraged for ALL nations.
The Poms could have a tea party.

That's awesome. I bet it intimidates the opponent.

My Dad played for Leinster so I have been to plenty of rugby matches as a kid. I saw the Haka and I also saw Fiji do something similar while they were on tour years ago.

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

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

Sigh. Political correctness gone mad.

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

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

Is this the really hard stage on dance dance revolution?
