[QUOTE="Rugby_Cymru, post: 91682"] Personally, i would not have been very happy about singing the national anthem after seeing the haka. The haka for me is the thing i want after i'm tingling from having sung our national anthem, and would prefer to go straight into the match (as per usual) singing my heart out with all other hymn we have. The problem with the Welsh crowd is that they don't want to sit back, respect and take in the awesomeness that is the haka. Some people just start singing Bread Of Heaven right in the middle of the haka. Then a majority of the stadium joins in and THAT'S annoying. To me, if i were a New Zealander, i'd be annoyed with the that display from the other country. Then again, maybe it's just me wanting to hear the haka as it should be, live in the stadium. Basically, all i'm trying to say is i can see where the WRU are coming from in trying to create an "official" response because when you do the haka we don't have one. They're all singing Bread Of Heaven from the moment "Ka Mate Ka Mate" are leaving your lips and the crowd are just trying to be louder than the AB players...it's just a chaotic mess. [/QUOTE]
