How are the all blacks allowed to get away with doing this? It's a war chant, a challenge and it's very provocative and intimidating? It could be seen to incite violence. Where is the PC brigade?
The history of the Haka is interesting.It was first performed on the international stage against Wales in the famous 1905 match at Cardiff. To counteract it Wales sung the Welsh national anthem. This was the first time that a national anthem had ever been sung before a sporting event anywhere in the world. So the Haka has a long and proud history, and has to be thanked for the introduction of national anthems being sung at sporting events.

I love the films of the Haka in the fifties -really tame it was then. Team consisted only of wimpy whites and was only slightly more intimidating than Morris dancing ;-)
The Haka should not be allowed to be performed last, the home national team's anthem should be last.
Its an unfair advantage, they are putting themselves in a trance that is the whole point of a war dance , they and the Pacific Islanders can do it as far as i am concerned but they should not allowed to do it last.
Continually being banned by Planet Swans for Porthcawl and then being reinstated.
