[QUOTE="Dizzy, post: 464392, member: 21905"] Wow, I'm really surprised of the amount of flack the All Blacks and the Haka are getting on here because of the walk up... Hell no I don't agree with the fine, we as Kiwi's love the stare down whenever Haka are taking place and when the French walked up to the All Blacks with full knowledge of the IRB's pathetic rules and risking a hefty fine, a large amount of respect for the French grew inside me. What people must understand is that the Haka isn't something we just springed out of our asses and decided to do. It has been around forever and it goes hand in hand with All Blacks rugby, it's a piece of history and to complain and insist it be removed is disrespect in itself. What my original intent was of this post was to say that, The French knew full well of the consequences when they decided to approach the All Blacks during the Haka and deserve the fine. Not saying I agree that a fine is in place, but it is the same as when the Tuilagi's were fined for the mouthpiece. They knew full well of the consequences and deserved the fine. Again, I don't agree with it, but rules are rules even if they're fu****. [/QUOTE]
