OK, can we do it at Dunedin then?Originally Posted by Jethro
Until this is the case, a team can perform their cultural ritual in a kiwi stadium, with the full backing of the rugby establishment in NZ the haka will always be a special privilege afforded to islander teams (and New Zealand) that to me makes it a ceremony that the all blacks have very little right to be so precious about. don't get me wrong, i don't mind the haka at all, it looks pretty and it's usually pretty entertaining to watch a bunch of tough rugby players performing an interpretive dance before the game. What really fries my potatoes is the way New Zealand seem to think they have a divine right to perform it and then deny that right to other teams. If they were not the insecure chokers that they are they wouldn't really care whether we respected their traditions. Wallabies by 12 in the semi final, we'll watch them dance and then beat them at rugby.
