I didn't know of a Haka

#5  Look up on YouTube the New Zealand-Tonga RWC match, Bes. Now, that is the greatest tradition in sports.

Then, look up the "Gingerbread Haka" for a good laugh.

#3  You played the All Blacks in your third game, Beavis? Yowza! My uncle Jim was in a Country NSW side that played them in 1963. They lost 103-0.

My third ever rugby match was against a NZ side touring Atlanta, scared the daylights out of me.

I'd like to see Westboro Baptist protest that funeral

#1  It's a traditional ancestral war cry, dance or challenge from the Mâori people of New Zealand. The NZ 'All Blacks' footballers do a kool one at pre-match.
