The All Blacks Haka v Ireland

[5yearstobuyatvr]

Just watched the Haka, absolutely awesome, seemed a different type of format to the usual one somehow.

Its called Kapa o Pango.

Neither the Scots or the Irish have picked up the challenge put down by Ali Williams when he throws down the head gear.

A Haka is just a traditional dance, theres no format (though some standard moves).

The recent change which added a throat slitting gesture (which was, ahem, msinterpreted?) caused a bit of controversy over here.

[RobDickinson]

Its just a type of dance, it can be a welcome, a challenge, a celebration , whatever.

Or in the later stages of the World Cup, it can be a good indicator that the performing team are about to choke. Again.
