You'd know dumbfuck. I bet you got all excited at the sight of all those one
and a half inch dicks. But the skirts would have upset you, eh Daveyboy?

The South Africans seem to have coppied this idea

http://news.bbc.co.­uk/sport1/hi/rugby_u­nion/international/2­185071.stm

"1407 BST Caleb Ralph leads the All Blacks in their famous Haka as
South Africa move forward in a line to confront their rivals. Backing
them up is the troupe of dancers with spears.
1359 BST A troupe of African tribal dancers welcomes the sides onto
the pitch. Corne Krige leads out South Africa to a huge roar from the
57,000 crowd."

A fair bit of googling reveals that I have mis-remembered. It was't
the Scots but the Irish.

How to face the Haka

There are 15 large Kiwis chanting in your face. Do you run, hide or go
nose to nose?

1. Into the valleys In November 1905, a Wales team (and the crowd)
burst into an 'awe-inspiring' version of Land of my Fathers after the
haka.

2. The Campese The Australia winger and full-back preferred to ignore
the haka ritual completely and warm up with a ball until the war dance
ended.

3. The Nose Job In November 1989, at Landsdown Road (sic), Ireland
captain Willie Henderson led his whole team forward to face the haka.
Nails.

In 1997, England's Richard Cockerill wasn't impressed by the 'challenge'
and eyeballed Norm Hewitt as he led the haka before a game.

If I remember rightly there was a bit of fuss about it in the press and
obviously norm wasn't best pleased, then cocky never has been one to
spare anyone feelings. He's very much from the Brian Moore school of
hookers, a real wind up merchant always in the oppos faces, whether
they're doing a jig or not.

No, that would probably be politically incorrect. It sounded to me like
a made up bunch of sound loops mixed together. Of course, I could be wrong.

The Maori are very senstive about parodies of their cultural traditions.
The lads at Lincoln Uni or was it Massey, anyway, they used to do
various silly hakas as part of their student revels, and I remember
Black Power or somebody threatening to come down and do some massed head
kicking if the irreverent paleface youth didn't cease and desist from
mocking their sacred customs.

Doesn't stop certain Maori fringe loonies from mocking our customs at
the drop of a hat, but I suppose that's OK, the old white man is fair
game for anyone, and mockery is probably a sacred Maori tradition as well.
