In the inevitable World Cup final between Japan and the All Blacks at the Stade de France, the All Blacks will start proceedings with:

However! Japan will hit back with their own pre-match warm up dance, designed to strike fear into the hearts of even the toughest of Rugby warriors:

Matt (Rugby_Cymru) said he loved it.

 

[Bullitt]

Um... Yes.

:blink:

 

[gjohn85]

That was f***ing brilliant. I can imaging the Japanese players doing that in the WC!

 

[Prestwick]

You know it makes sense.

 

[O'Rothlain]

Dancing Japanese Girls! Bonzai!

 

[Rugby_Cymru]

Wow, it's actually hard to see which way the match is gonna go after these 2 initial displays...

 

[Prestwick]

Quite so Matt...and oh my goodness, the Japanese have brought a huge mechanical robot into the stadium.

 

[sanzar]

Japan are so winning this WC! And what's better, I'll be there when the news breaks and the sake starts flowing in celebration!

 

[robinweide]

That was f***ing brilliant. I can imaging the Japanese players doing that in the WC! [/b]

hopefully without the skirts :unsure:

 

[Brodizzle]

Do you have a off site link to this? I want to show a mate the cartoon thing

 

[Prestwick]

Right here

I've noticed that no Kiwis have posted here yet. Obviously this is a huge insult to their "culture" and "traditions" that I doubt anyone from those illustrious islands will ever speak to me again!

 

[Bullitt]

Little do you know that the Army of Truth is already on its way...

 

[Prestwick]

What, to my house?!

I'd better get the washing in, all that bullshit and what not might stain!

 

[fcukernaut]

I don't think I'll ever understand the Japanese culture.

Haha if we had Japanese people here they'd be screaming RACIST!

Very funny indeed!

 

[Prestwick]

There was a competition for Japan's Rugby dance...this was the runner up.

Okay, okay so it wasn't, but I thought it looked cool.

 

[fsquid]

Back to the all blacks one. I personally think that is the coolest thing in all of sports.

 

[Aus_Matt]

that was mad lol

 

[Boofhead]

Haha!

Can't wait till Japan holds a World Cup we might actually see this!
