[QUOTE="Cooper, post: 975969, member: 81540"] Kia ora mate! I have similar heritage, my Dad is Scottish and Mum is Maori, I was born in New Zealand. I'm very proud and value both sides of my heritage and in particular my Maori heritage. Mum's side of the family (Iwi) has it's own Haka and Marae/Pa (shared house) and perform it for guests routinely. It's a welcoming and challenge. What the English did was in no way disrespectful, they met the challenge and I thought in a very classy way. WR are being petty fining them, but rules are rules. The V was really cool and classy, no offense was taken and none should be, anyone saying otherwise is being a bit precious. [/QUOTE]
