My kids didn’t know what to make of it because most of them had never seen it before and they looked over at me wondering what to do.

Fully agreed! The Haka is gorgeous, and very special and a proud tradition. We respect that, but at the same time, we get faulted for not honoring someone else’s tradition? You may not turn your back, or laugh, or smile, and even if the crowd boo’s, the opposing team gets fined. The risk taken, when performing the Haka, is the risk of getting a disrespectful response. Take it or leave it. Your traditions are not mine, and my response should not be punishable, if it is different to what you would expect.

The Haka used to be something to enjoy until the IRB banned any reaction that wasn't standing in respectful silence. Make no mistake, France were fined in 2007. While the All Blacks like to gurn and prance about they expect to dictate how far the opposition stands away from them and even that the opposition turns away first and it is pathetic. If a team is playing in NZ, I absolutely agree that their culture should be respected. However NZ or Maori culture does not overrule French, English, Scottish or Brazilian culture. It is no more important than any other national culture and so when playing outside of NZ the hosting team should be perfectly entitled to turn their backs, walk up close, do the tango or not take the field during this little display if they wish without infantile bleating as NZ run off to the IRB demanding sanctions because their little dance wasn't "respected". The All Blacks are the whiney, spoilt kids in the classroom that run to the teacher at the drop of a hat.

If u ask all blacks in the past they didn't mind it. They respected that they were up for it. The people in charge of rugby are the ones who stopped players from going face to face

#1-Tonga , They really "responded" not like the rest. #2- 2007 France, They were in their face. #3- shouldn't be France..they were holding hands. 😆 So what they stood there for awhile, they looked soft.🍦 The rest are whatever. Tonga was Too Lit tho. Big Thanks to @WorldRugby for putting this together. I appreciate this video very much!!!
