[QUOTE="TRF_Cymro, post: 366731, member: 40909"] From what I know ... New Zealand have to ask the Maori priests to preform it overseas. The home nations have the right to refuse the performance of the Haka. They don't do it because it would cause an outrage in the rugby community. Wales were well within their right to ask New Zealand, to preform the Haka after the kick off. Let I just remind you quickly, that when Wales asked to do it it was in the 125th Anniversary year of the WRU ... and that when Wales first encountered the Haka in Wales ... the Welsh responded to the Haka by singing the Welsh National Anthem, Wales had done nothing wrong but just wanted to observe a mark of tradition, something that is often overlooked when it comes to the debate.
