[QUOTE="Rugby_Cymru, post: 91573"] Richie McCaw, "At the end of the day, the haka is about spiritual preparation and we do it for ourselves. Traditionally, fans can share the experience too..." That to me sounds like the players regard it as theirs. "Theirs" as in the new zealand players, not "theirs" as in nz players AND fans. You missed out as well that day as well, didn't you? I still maintain that the impression i'm getting from your captain is that it belongs to the players. The again, i can understand how that quote "ourselves" could include all new zealanders, but considering the fans were excluded from the awesome display that EVERYONE looks forward to, i feel inclined to say it's a players' thing.
