[QUOTE="Flyin Ryan, post: 150661"] Sorry, I knew whose responsibility it was, it was just lazy English. Your right to clarify it though. Well you could also ask, why do the New Zealanders change it? The tradition itself has changed to a huge degree so the Haka of today is practically unrecognisable to the one of 20 years ago. To be honest, i dont think many people care too much either way, but if there is a chance it could give a team an advantage it shouldnt be allowed ................ or ................... it should be done [b]before[/b] the Anthems, not before kick-off.[/b][/quote] If a group of [b]professional[/b] rugby players that are the best their country has to offer are intimidated by a bunch of Kiwis moving their arms and chanting, than they are not good enough and should never be representing their country to start with. I'd tell said men to stop being a bunch of p*ssies and just get on with it. With that type of attitude they have lost the game before it even started if they think the Haka gives New Zealand an advantage. [/QUOTE]
