[QUOTE="loratadine, post: 91686"] why the f*** should anyone respect the haka, people do it out of choice, its a great tradition, and one im sad not to have witnessed on saturday but nz doesnt have a devine right in rugby. and they were playing on our turf, if you ask me it was just nz flexing there muscles again, id hate to see them become the chelsea of rugby. and to add, yes i think the national anthem as a response was the wrong call, but its just irritates me that new zealand think they can call the shots, if they want to throw there dummy out of the crib then so be it. i mean who sais the all blacks perform the haka last thus getting themselves fired up and having a psychological edge on there opponents, there no law in the irb which sais "the haka must be performed after the anthems just before kick off" its bullshit, we let the all blacks keep there tradition. in other sports this tradition would have died in the 70's, its only the good rugby folk who sit back and let nz march into there country and have the last word before the game starts. i [/QUOTE]
