I know it's a football thread, but a quick word about the haka.
I love it because although it could be quite ridiculous, the fact it is performed so intensely makes it exactly what it should be. Warlike and menacing.
Despite the varied ethnic backgrounds of the players, they show total commitment to it. I compare that to the slightly embarrassed singing of the English national anthem by our football players before an international match and sigh.
