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.

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
