All Blacks V South Africa 17th July?
Am so excited!!
As independent, woman of substance, I have booked flights, hotel and All Blacks tickets for next weekend in Welly for me and my 4 kids.
Never been to an AB's game and am really excited about it. Anyone else going?

I've never been to a rugby match before, don't understand the rules either, but figured "when in rome" etc.

When are the stooges at the IRB going to ban that commercially-driven and racist 'haka'??

Maybe the IRB will ban it about the same time that that Jews and Muslims learn to love each other. Would that be soon enough?

......... and as someone who has spent most of the last 18 years in the Middle East, I can assure you it's not "Jews" that are the problem for most Muslims - it's "Israel". I know plenty of Muslims and Jews who are perfectly hospitable to one another - they just sensibly avoid talking about sensitive subjects - like Israel.

Re: All Blacks V South Africa 17th July?
David Campese had the right idea - wander off and kick a ball around.
The issue is bigger than that - the IRB have for many years allowed the All Chokes to get away with doing whatever they like. Whenever NZ rugby is mentioned, I always think back to Brendan Gallagher's brilliant article in the Daily Nazigraph after they got knocked out of the 2007 RWC:

Difficult one after the Maori England game recently. Great game. Not too much bad sportsmanship from the crowd as we have experienced in the past.
Was not intimidated at all by said Haka . Who could be . Prefer the Maori rugby team to be doing it , or the Pacifikas, than a mix of allsorts with very little claim.
Two anthems as you would expect. Respect to both you would think. It's sport after all. NZ one sung in both languages and we all respected.
UK anthem started ---- and a loud Haka started during this. Supreme bad manners .
Wrong venue, Wrong time. To the wrong people that had travelled the world to see that game.
