I think we would all agree and be happy if the haka was just a "ritual dance" to be performed before every All Blacks test, wouldn't we?<BR/><BR/>But things are not always that easy and simple and when you are tempted to perform the haka in a commercial... maybe things are getting a bit out of hand.<BR/><BR/>Most NZ'ers feel it too.<BR/><sesenta y cuatrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03047783813626368528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538646712213084685.post-82187981706642176692008-02-04T20:32:00.000+01:002008-02-04T20:32:00.000+01:00As a South African supporter I love the Haka.

As is said "imitation is the best part of flattery" and I think that many people come to the games around the world, not so much to see the All Blacks play rugby, but to see perform the Haka.
