[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 977443, member: 43875"] I know my response may be kind of unique but I couldn't help but have a giggle. firstly I never liked the arrowhead formation the AB's adopted this year, and I hope it gets shelved. I'm no kapa haka expert but to me the arrowhead doesn't fit with how the Maori Generally do haka. but the V formation is a very feminine response and to me it seemed almost submissive. Like " yeah lets be the perfect fit for you?" Of course England were well and truly up for the contest and won. but still the V just seemed like an attempt to do something different. The fine is stupid but the rule is clearly there from the IRB to keep it from turning into a face to face standoff and distracting from the game. [/QUOTE]
