They did it to our basketball team weeks ago. We laughed and beat them by 30

Not even top 10. Volleyball, table tennis, and cricket are ahead of it too

When they do the dance in the face of ISIS, I'll be impressed.

This seems like a better use for the Haka

I'm not clicking your links, but Rugby is the 3rd most spectated sport in the world.
I'll post the facts, when I get to my laptop.

Correction:
You don't, and it's foolish of you to say that.

I'm not a golf fan, but it's the most spectated sport in the world.

It's definitely cool to watch. However, I don't like that NZ is allowed to perform this intimidating war dance, and their opponents aren't allowed to respond. They get really upset and feel disrespected if the other team doesn't back down. They've intentionally injured players for "disrespecting" the Haka. Seriously, grow up.

Admittedly I'm not a rugby expert, but this is how it appears to me. I may be completely off base.
