            <p>The ABs have had the less than fearsome or decent Caleb Ralph leading it in the past probably based on him being the only Maori in the team at the time.</p>
            <p> </p>
            <p>As booboo said, not particularly important all things considered.</p>

                  What's wrong with growing ginger facial hair?........asking on behalf of a friend.<br><br>
                  He also said to tell you it's not actually ginger the name of the colour is Viking sunset but not to worry it's a common mistake.

                        <p>Shit the Scots in the early 2000s must have stared incredulously at the NZ Maori team of that period that had a bloke who looked more Scottish than any of them in Paul Tito and two MacDonalds in the starting line up......Leon being the obvious one and Angus ( which is as Scots as a dour bloke munching a haggis, washing it down with Whisky ( not whiskey ) and refusing to pay for it )</p>

                          <p>Coles for me too I reckon. Definite starter, in the form of his life, arguably the best in his position in the world, good bit of agro. An unkempt 'viking sunset' tinged lumberjack beard would add to the occasion too if he could grow it.</p>

                              <p>The All Blacks did about 13 different but equally hilarious Hakas between 15 players in the 1970s. Someone more tech savvy can feel free to put a youtube link up. I have a feeling their record was rather good back then....</p>
                              <p> </p>
                              <p>Taine Randell led a really good Haka enroute to them losing 5 in a row in 1998.</p>
                              <p> </p>
                              <p>Am I alone in thinking who fucken cares who leads it ?</p>

                                <p>Elliot Dixon would be intense but he does need to make the team first </p>

                                  <p>Picking the squad is probably a bigger issue for the coach right now. But here goes....</p>
                                  <p> </p>
                                  <p>It has got to be a senior player, who is comfortable leading the challenge and respected by the other players:</p>

                                  <p>Read, Coles, Kaino, Aaron Smith, Cruden or Julian Savea would be the short list for me. I'd go for Kaino, but I suspect it will be the Skipper.</p>

                                    Who cares, pick the best squad. <br><br>
                                    Then decide who is best candidate to lead the haka
