Is it only me, or did they totally stuff the Haka. Totally underwhelming. Even the Tellytubbies does it better.

I really have no feeling either way for the Haka. I think it's been overdone. For me, I've seen it so many times that it becomes white noise.

 Card, although I'm a great fan of the gingerbread haka, I  think the Tubbies are better!

I don't watch anything before the kick-off. Not anthems, not hakas, nothing. Boring waste of time.

 Some "rugby fans" dream about gingerbread men & teletubbbies, etc. so you are a purist Packie.

 JW, I love the Haka, but IMO NZ, has stuffed it this time around. It seems over chronographed or something. Loved the onces from a few years back much more. The one the gingerbread men covered was my favourite. Don't ask me to get the name right though.

Yes, sometimes it seems overdone.

The Haka is special.

It's part of New Zealand rugby. Part of their culture.

I love it.

I always turn the volume up full blast when the Haka is being performed by the All Blacks.

So much so that my window panes look like moving water.

I could give three shytes what the neighbours say.

Hope it never dies out.

Rarity makes something special. Why do you suppose the All Blacks created the Kapa O Pango?

Perhaps not to you, Inbred ... but to millions of others it is very special ... so don't presume you know it all.

We've already taken note of your ignorance regarding the origins of the Dodo ... as well as countless posts that have exposed you as the ignorant twat that you are.

My advice to you is that you rather shut your pie hole. Far less embarrassing.

I love the Haka as well, its special......I wish the Boks had an equivalent traditional African war cry.
