    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?

    the mics

    That's show business

    totally, and i get that. But now it is basically a marketing tool, hasn't it lost its meaning?

    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

    It was really important in the '60's and before away from NZ from what I've read. Terry McLean's book on the '63-64 tour mentions the haka practices and the importance to the team.

    Faded in the 70's and we ended up with the embarrassing disco "haka".

      The deeper we go into the tourney, the more Aura grows

      The aura is so strong that Jamie Joseph and Tony Brown have rubbed some of it off on Japan.

      I hope watching Ireland get smacked made the Irish Haka-moaning idiot really f**king miserable.

          Don't you think Hansens' been looking hard at Ireland since they beat us last year and it looked possible we'd run into them at the RWC. Going to be tasty I reckon

              I think we will smoke them. Not even slightly concerned that we will come second.

                Didn't mean to quote @Hooroo -- pushed the wrong replyquote button thingy in a hurry.

                The Aura clearly still operating at peak performance

                  I feel sorry for the Irish having to stand there and get cold and intimidated. Maybe Bundee can initiate a response haka.

                            A bit of a weird one isn't it, but if I could play tennis with Federer I would. Be lucky to win a point, but I'd still want to do it.

                                And BANG! The twitter mob is mobilised. And along predictable lines. Defense first from some. Claims of "white supremacy" and colonialism.

                                Gary apologies and deletes. Once again the mob was right.

                                And John fucking Campbell is given a platform to try and appear the tolerant one. FMD

                                  No one has to like Walkers Crisps. No one has to like the haka. Over-reaction to Linekar's tweet (a harmless attempt at humour) is ridiculous.

                                    And BANG! The twitter mob is mobilised. And along predictable lines. Defense first from some. Claims of "white supremacy" and colonialism.

                                    Gary apologies and deletes. Once again the mob was right.

                                    The funny part is him agreeing with Piers Morgan over Linekers comment.

                                    But English whiteness as normative whatever that’s supposed to mean .

                                      John Campbell can fuck right off with that diatribe of shit.

                                      Pom doesn’t like the haka? So what???

                                      Campbell is so far off the mark here. Trying to be the next Trudeau. Makes me physically sick.
