To haka or not to haka...an excuse for gratuitous thighs

[amberdreams]

So, haka or not to haka?  

Personally I love all that thigh slapping but I don't see why the opposition team shouldn't retaliate according their own culture - so I have to agree that the French shouldn't have advanced on the NZ team; nope, instead they should have got out their packs of Gauloise, done some Gallic shrugging and maybe farted in the general direction of the Kiwis.
 
I wonder what the England team should do – probably just look uncomfortable with such a public display of emotion.  Maybe do some synchronised sipping at a cup of tea, while raising disapproving eyebrows.

Yummy. Now there's a nice picture to come home to after a hard day's work!

Personally, I think the England team should do a morris dance before each match. I'm just trying to imagine them let loose with those hitty sticks and ankle bells.

There would be blood.

Ah now that would be awesome. Bells and hitty sticks and hankies flying everywhere.

Oh, it should be done. The cricket and football teams too.

So much better than some poxy French arrowhead :)

I have no idea what you're talking about (I do know what haka is, but other than that, totally in the dark), but this entry did give me a good chuckle anyway. Thanks for that, heh! :D

Ah I am often confused myself as to what I'm on about so no wonder you are too. Glad to provide some amusement in spite of the lack of comprehension (and I expect a few naked torsos helps, eh?)
