[QUOTE="RC, post: 230408"] Not fully educated on the issue, but the haka is a challenge. What does it matter how these people look? Don't school kids do the haka? That's got to be far from intimidating (then again, i'm sure most school kids in NZ are bigger than me!) But i thought it was all about setting a challenge. Being proud of your tradition. I don't see why the cricketers and any other sportsperson shouldn't do it. Alas, that is from the mouth of a foreigner. But i spent the summer in America and grew very close with 6 NZers who were all related. Half of their family was Maori the other half was Scottish. As a treat to the guests at where we were working the NZ guys suggested they'd teach us the haka and then welcome the guests with that. They taught us the moves, the words and what the words meant. It was a great education and i now respect the culture even more because i know about it. I think it's great. [/QUOTE]
