The Haka? Is it performed too often

[Nath]

Why shouldn't you be allowed to cross the line? Why not march right up under their noses and show them you're not intimidated? It would be far better theatre than what we've got now, where the players just stand there looking grave and the New Zealand commentators give them credit for "accepting the challenge."

I wonder what it would actually do to the All Blacks' aura of invincibility if every team for a year (or even just, say, a Northern Hemisphere tour) just decided to challenge the haka and live with the fines. They'd probably be a little more beatable.

It came very very close to getting physical one time(think between AB's and Tonga)

So the IRB being the 'rex hunts' that they are, decided to step in and remove all character and fun from the game.

I would pay good money to see a full.blown post haka punch on.

That would, obviously, be wrong though. Very wrong.

This was pretty intense.
