Tongan Haka
Did anyone else think the tongan haka last night was abit other the top. Fair enough it needs to be intimidating but at one point they were basically touching the england players! The haka needs to be scary i know but i think it was excessive last night.

You mean they could have taken a step backwards? Consider what that means, when someone takes a step backwards, its showing the Tongan's that England are scared, and I'm glad they didn't do that.

I love the hakas and I think that they should stay because they are a great tradition. I think that when they go on people should respect them and not boo but they are entitled to sing like the England fans did.
I thought that the English players were great they stood there and showed no emotion and it would have been awful if they had taken a step becak it was Tongas way of trying to scare England and it didn't work.

I imagine your very much alone. It is a tradition and makes the game some times.madoqua wrote:Am I alone in thinking that Hakas are a pain?
I think they look daft and see no reason why the opposing team should obey any 'code' of behaviour during these silly dances.
Sorry if anybody disagrees with me but i love um
