The haka is a challenge,a rattling of spears,and so pretty appropriate for a rough physical sport like rugby...and really,there should be a response from the other team.''We accept,game on!'' But the haka can mean other things too,honour,respect etc.It's a bit annoying and embarrassing to see a haka done at the drop of a hat for anything these days,it loses it's mana if done too much.
We all want to see how Sonny Bill Williams goes in his first All Black test.The former league player is going to bring in a different style to our game...it's going to be exciting to watch.
