I don't care if i'm going to get flack for this.
NZ Rugby have been getting away with this for too long.
I cannot believe that we live 14 years into the 21st Century and we still have men dancing before a rugby match.
I honestly don't have a problem with the maori culture. I really don't. However, there's no place for the haka or any war dance from the other nations in rugby.
The worst part is you're not even allowed to challenge the haka. Talk about having your cake and eating it. It's ridiculous.
If the haka absolutely must stay, then at the very least have it challenged. The All Blacks really get a charge out of being challenged.
Having said that.
The cricket team don't do the haka. Why should rugby still have it ?
Everything in life is cyclical, so i'm sure someone will have some sense at some point at World Rugby HQ to ban it. Nothing stays the same forever.
I can only hope it will be in my lifetime.
