Just watched the All Blacks doing their Haka. I'm not keen on the version they did today. I know there are a few versions but I prefer the one where they jump up at the end. They don't seem to do that one any more. A friend of mine from New Zealand said that every school child in New Zealand is taught the Haka from an early age. This clip reflects that and is a nice tribute.
I thought it was performance art and took various forms depending on the circs
Takes the place of 'war' and the old old practice of beating the crap out of each other - is that right ?
