[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 452173, member: 43400"] Here's what I think about Peter de Villiers's comments on the over use of the Haka, and it's over use ... it's used a lot these days because there are a lot of test matches played ... the South African national anthem is also sung quite a lot, for the same reason. ... I really don't think its any of his business how many times the haka is performed, any more than it's any of mine to try and limit the number of times the South African national anthem is sung, or how many languages it's sung in. As for the response to the haka, my opinion is that the IRB should allow a response from the opposing team ... I don't agree with the opposing fans singing through the haka, it's just as disrespectful as singing over top of another nations national anthem in my opinion [/QUOTE]
