[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 975800, member: 56232"] There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of consistency here. The English response to the haka is supposedly not offensive as it is accepting the challenge and yet at Twickers when the fans join in singing Swing Low, which is our trademark response, almost every time we hear about how we are disrespecting the haka by singing over it. I wish New Zealanders could decide whether the haka is a challenge to be met or some holy ritual that must be met with the upmost reverence and treated the same way as the anthem. I also suspect that had England lost the game we would be hearing far more about how their response was disrespectful. [/QUOTE]
