@ grootblousmile:
Thats not trying to stir up shit. I called it as I saw it. I am a rugby fan and I appreciate good rugby no matter who plays it.I do not let my emotions interfere with my judgment that is when one become one eyed supporter who refuses to hear the truth and think everyone is attacking your supported team. One of my fav guys is a kiwi. He is part of that Chiefs setup. His name is Wayne Smith and he appreciates rugby no matter who plays it. Have a look at this

This is why the Kiwi’s are successful

@ Loosehead:
It is out of respect.
392 @ Spooony: What is out of respect?
@ Loosehead:
Respect of the Haka. Just have a chat to some of those Islanders like Jerome Kaino Eliota Sapolu and you will see what it means to them. Sona Taumalolo, Kaino and Sapolu are followers of mine on twitter and I learned a lot from them and the culture. Its like disrespecting the national anthem if you disrespect it
So the NZRFU gets the IRB to legislate what the opponents must do while the All Blacks do there song and dance routine, and this is to force us to respect it? Fuck that!
You get people to respect you by earning respect, not by legislation.
Look back at the Haka in the 80’s, they performed it and got over themselves. Now Fat Piri jumps up and down like a kid after hearing that the KFC bucket is empty, and Ali Wiliams trying to reach his nipples with his tongue.
I can go to a sokkie jol and watch people doing the same and still not respect them.
@ Loosehead:
No they ask to show respect for it. You can still go and look at it but the charging up till in their faces is overstepping it. IRB never added laws for it they just pointed out the already written conduct and charter of the game to do things in the spirit of the game.
@ Spooony:
Then they should either sing along to, and dance the haka, or get to sing their anthem. But not be legislated to do both.
Springbok announcement coming up
@ Spooony: No. There is legislation in place that stipulates how the opponents must act, where they must stand etc.
It is nothing but precious.
