    When I saw I had replies to my earlier post, I was sure it would be about tits not tests, boobs not blacks.

    Occasionally, we can talk about sport, if we have to, but Aura does have some great features.

            The Haka and Perenara’s court jester routine have started to annoy me recently.

            I’d be happy if they stopped.

              Here’s a better solution - exclusively for you: Don’t watch it. Go to the loo, take a piss before kickoff; alternately, go to the ‘fridge and grab another beer. Nobody is forcing you to watch.

                      to me it feels more like a commercial stage show than the challenge it used to be. It's the microphones, and the "ooh which one will they do" followed by "oh it's the old one, they don't respect you bro" and the legislated allowable responses. It's a sideshow, play the bloody game.

                      And it's lead by a bloody half back.

                      Note: the advantage shit is absolute horseshit though.

                        @mariner4life dont forget the fans disrespecting it!

                        I still like it, but agree they make too much of it.

                              How the F would you know, you haven;t watched it in ages. 😉

                              I bugger off for the anthems and come back for the haka. I missed the haka in 1994 vs the French at Eden Park because my mate and I got lost driving to the ground, and the girls we asked for directions were pretty so we dropped them off where they were going first and then went to the game, made our seats just as the haka ended. We lost to the try from the end of the world. I'm not risking missing the haka again.

                                    to me it feels more like a commercial stage show than the challenge it used to be. It's the microphones, and the "ooh which one will they do" followed by "oh it's the old one, they don't respect you bro" and the legislated allowable responses. It's a sideshow, play the bloody game.

                                    And it's lead by a bloody half back.

                                    Note: the advantage shit is absolute horseshit though.

                                    We don't put those microphones there. World rugby loves the haka for the commercial aspect

                                    yeah, i am sure the NZRU and AIG hate it, and wouldn't have a bar of it if it wasn't for WR

                                    The mics or the haka?

                                          Not for the players. I think its always been a marketing tool. Since the Buck days I think it means more now to the players than before. It was probably regarded as a cute novelty back in the 70s and earlier. A relic from the colonies
