    How to respond to the haka

    I agree - There can be NO restrictions - How can you say to a serious Competitor in a Rugby Test "Just stand there and take it"????? ...and the fact that there must be no restrictions means it must go - I repeat however, if the Kiwis want to insist on t at home, that is their business - just...

    How to respond to the haka

    I know the Clip makes t look that way - as it comes-in a bit late - apparently the australians advanced quite a way forward... I note also quite a few Pacific islands boys in the Australian Team - they seemed to think it was an appropriate response... So do I - it was however the Kiwi Boys who...

    How to respond to the haka

    Maybe its time to view the Haka in the "Spirit" in which it is offered - I know of no other "Cultural Exchange" which is inflicted on a - in this case Host - according to the maxim; - We get our way completely, and you appreciate it, - or we will throw our toys out of the Crib... This from...

    How to respond to the haka

    The English Players don't tho - and nobody has to stand about getting 'warmed-down' whilst they do - that is really the issue. Should they be standing about whilst the Welsh players sing a Hymn, or the Italians perform a little Opera? - that represents their Culture - but what has it got to do...

    How to respond to the haka

    I thought it was a bit over-hyped at the time.. they stood and watched - no more, no less... did not seem particularly perturbed, or, impressed - clapped at the end as f to say "OK, Now lets get on with it..." all looked a bit pointless to the jaded eye.

    How to respond to the haka

    As said, if they want to perform it in New Zealand, Good Luck to them - otherwise, get on with the Rugby. I was interested to see at the recent World Basketball Championships, a European Side which entirely ignored it - They were there to play basketball, not to a cultural exchange... The...

    How to respond to the haka

    This is a circular discussion - You either get all excited about it, or you want to see it done away with... I would like to see it done away with, to me it is ridiculous, but if the Kiwis want to make everyone sit through it at home, let them go ahead - its Their Right... Once they are on the...

    Rubbish. I fully expect the boys to take Wales and England and Wales and advance - and fully support them to do so.

    Next Wallabies Coach.

    I fully expect he will approach the Job using the 'Ian Chappell' appraoch: "The Bastards won't get me that way"...

    Next Wallabies Coach.

    Interesting Psychology Game to be played here - would love to be a fly on the wall at the ARU: 1. If Chieka wants to insist on full-board support to break the Player-Prima-Donnas over the next 12 months, he needs to allow the ARU to punish Beale n line with the seriousness of that situation...

    Next Wallabies Coach.

    Managed to get the Wrong End of The Stick the whole way through that Forest... a rare talent - well done.

    Perhaps, and I know they had the Brisbane Test to consider for injuries - but still very surprised that a Tour party has not been put together with only 6 days to the flight...

    Ewen McKenzie Resignation

    Eddie Jones has come out and said "Every effort should be made to keep Ewen McKenzie in Australian rugby following his shock resignation as the Wallabies head coach on Saturday" On that basis.. I guess right thing to do is we should all be pitching-in to get Link an airfare overseas on the...

    Can't blame a bloke for his Mums' phone calls - but I totally agree with the second-half of your post... Link is gone because the ARU won't support him in cleaning-out the dead-wood.

    Did you even read the Article...? Hardly a behind-the-scenes scenario or some vendetta: "... Adam Ashley-Cooper, one of two players' representatives on the Brumbies board, was involved in the decision to sack Andy Friend as Brumbies coach... What made Ashley-Cooper's position especially...

    Easy to draw disparate points together and draw conclusions - but - What Vendetta? Look at the Players, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), TPN, Cummins, Liam Gill - not exactly the first players to come to mid when one considers "unreasonable Player Power" - more like part of the Core of whatever Culture the Wallaby Camp has...

    Ewen McKenzie Resignation

    I think the reasons for his missing the training session are clear to all now, and at least justifiable - given the excessively grubby information which emerged after the plane incident - and we are yet to find out how equally-grubby the exchange was on the plane. We are also yet to hear...
