[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 271906"] What honestly gives the haka any credibility, is that the All Blacks are so good. Many island nations have a "haka" but they aren't given nearly much attention. Onto the issue of walking up to the 50 line during the haka. Interesting observation, I've never seen the Boks walk up like that and they consistently have the best win record against the AB's. Perhaps too much respect is shown doing this? One of the more contraversal walk-abouts was the done when Wales played them last year. They ended up getting beaten 9-29. So is walking up really brave and challenging? We all know Ireland have never beaten them so lets skip that argument. However! The French! That haka challenge in the 2007 RWC was epic, and it turned out to be a history making game. [/QUOTE]
