All teams should walk up and take the challenge . Good on you Irish for showing some balls! Fukn mean!
-
Hey I don't see the problem here . it all comes down to the drama of the game . The Haka certainly adds alot to it. it raks up both teams in their own ways. Nz as a challenge. Ireland frustration that they haven't beaten nz in over 100 years. Just watch and be happy that your playing the best there is!

@kalesandri I am irish and i take it your from new zealand and mabye NZers are made of softer stuff than the irish (most likely ) cause i am 12 and wouldnt be afraid or shittin myself about men doing cultural dances .and i respect it but rugby isnt dancing
-
@corny165 They don't have to like it, we expect them to respect something that is important to our country. If you were out there in front of 22 men doing 'shapes' i think you would be shiting yourself.

And the Irish got flogged i guess?
-
@corny165 whoa don't go calling other people doing a cultural dance of their nation a bunch of pansies, they do it as sign of respect to their opponents. I don't mind them challenging the haka it makes the game exciting, just don't go calling people who rep their nations pansies for doing their traditional dance.

who won that game ?
-
@fanta14man I noticed the way you side stepped the question. Anyway i won't so no i don't hate Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, the Cook Islands or New Zealand. I do completely disagree with the dancing custom before games though.
-
@corny165 Also, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga also do one before the game? Do you hate on them?

@corny165 Did England invent?? ah.. who knew!! :P
Fucking irritating these NZ'ers. Don't understand why teams don't just fuck off and warm up or something, Campo had the right idea. Why "respond" or "accept the challenge" to a bunch of pansies dancing? Or heres a good one just stand there laughing your bollox off and pointing at grown men throwing shapes. They are good at the rugby though. I'll give them that.

@BigskinPhil I've nothing against that and i'm glad they're proud of their heritage. What i have a problem with is the perception the rest of the rugby playing world has to stand there and like it. I don't. I'm not Maori. They want to dance, do it elsewhere. There's no place for throat slitting gestures on a football pitch and because of this incident the IRB actually make the opposition stand still while the NZ'ers do there best to intimidate them. Christ you'd swear they invented the game.
