[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 230416"] No. The haka is something to get a group of warriors ready for war. Since we live in relatively peaceful times, rugby is the new war. Rugby or American football or any other physical contact sports; it's appropriate. There's something about watching a bunch of stacked guys with tattoos, half of whom are islanders, doing the haka. It's not the same with girls/ skinny weeds doing it. Cricket is a gentleman's game, it's not got that violence to it. Football is not a gentleman's game but it still doesn't have the conflict edge that rugby has. The haka should only be done in sports where you can legally bash your opponent. [/QUOTE]
