I'd be worn out before kick-off.
Now this is how you (insanely) start a rugby game!

Always love the Haka.

The haka is or was, a war cry. I used to enjoy it but now,like so many others here, we are fed up with it. It's used for any occasion at all.
It has lost it's 'mana.'

Bellbird, do you remember, a few years ago, when a beloved teacher of a boys school died and his funeral cortege came down the drive and the whole school honoured him with a haka? Not a threat haka but one of tribute. It was so moving and it brought me to tears.The haka is or was, a war cry. I used to enjoy it but now,like so many others here, we are fed up with it. It's used for any occasion at all.
On the other hand, this looks to me a very menacing haka
And this one is a welcoming ceremony for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, better known as Prince Harry and Meghan

Fascinating post! Thank you all. One of my life’s regrets is not having visited New Zealand and Australia.
