THE WRU have brought disgrace to the game of rugby today by not allowing the haka to be performed last...

every true fan in rugby knows the meaning of the haka and every true fan wants to see it. i hope the all blacks smash us into oblivion for what i cosider to be a massive insult....

C'mon Sal, why would you want your country to lose because of some old farts decisions??????? If that were the case then we'd be supporting the opposition in most games......

well thats the joke part of the season over with. now lets get back to business. to a place where both sides are reffed with the same rules at the break down. not making excuses. but nz constantly lay on our ball/wrong side. fair play they played the ref. but they don`t need to , their good enough. i find the whole international experience infuriating. thank god the scarlets will offer me some excitement and plenty of it this month.

totally agree (apart from the last bit lol) i've purpously watched the beginning of matches in the past just to see the haka and turned off not long after. the crowd showed how they felt and brian moore knocked the nail on the head when he said every supporter there would rather see the haka.

how bout this for a haka(s)

The Haka (respect it or not) is an integral part of the whole atmosphere surrounding an All Blacks appearance, opposition supporters expect it as it adds to the whole occasion. Dare I day it but players probably enjoy the challenge of facing it as they know they've "arrived", it also gives both sides an extra wind up as opposed to intimidating. Having had the pleasure of witnessing it three times down Stradey (and hopefully the opening game of the new gaff) I can honestly say it's an awesome sight and everyone should have the pleasure of seeing it in person at least once in their lifetime. If this was some sort of retort to that NZ journo t##t then it backfired big time, Henry had the good grace to call that journo a village idiot, the wru should have let it drop (if it is indeed the reason). Massive disrespect to the visitors and it probably wound them up even more!

Some genuine rugby fans paid big money to be part of that today, (forget the "occasion" crowd who doubled it with xmas shopping) they deserved the full spectacle.

It's the timing of the Haka that was in question.

The WRU didn't want it right before kick off, as they are pumped going into the game, they requested it be done before the anthems, but they didn't like that idea. Nobody banned them from doing the Haka, it was their choice not to do it.

Yes thats right, like last year when they tried to lower a giant welsh flag during the the Haka and it didn't open, just hung there, and the kickoff was late.

Comical
