I too cannot believe what all the fuss is about ! The Haka has been part of All Black (and for that matter Trans-Tasman rivalry) history for decades, and for the All Blacks not to perform the Haka would be like not singing the National anthems before a game. It would be more of an adrenaline rush for the apposing teams to stand up to the Haka and watch ....... just don't turn your back to the Haka (which I recall a team doing one year) as that would just pi** the All Blacks off and rev them up.
You don't here the Kiwis complaining about Waltzing Matilda being sung throughout Aussie stadiums.
I too want to know where this vote can be found
GO THE ALL BLACKS

Am an Aussie supporter who thinks that the haka is great. A real highlight of any match with the All Blacks. While I don't really give a damn about the 'throat slitting' gesture....I must say that I prefer the original Kama Te haka to this new one.

I cannot believe all the fuss about the Haka being too rough for RUGBY. You'ld think they were doing it before a golf game or something. It is rugby for goodness sake. I just lost all respect I had for Australia's Want-to-bees this week with all the stupidity about the Haka. I am an All Blacks fan anyway, but I always liked their team too until they started whining this week.
Talk about no class and being bad for rugby - nothing worse than a wimpy complaining coach - especially after just loosing to a team to do this sort of crying to the media. It just looks bad.....
If you find that site - let me know......

The main focus should be on the game, and this takes off all the pressure from a coach struggling with answers. He had a good game this week with the Wallabies but intense public scrutiny from the Australian media diverts his attention from key areas he should be focusing on instead of the All Blacks and the haka.

I'm a Springbok supporter but definitely think that the Haka should stay, its a tradition that shouldnt be ended just cause of a few whiners!

The haka should stay...that's tradition man! Fiji, Samoa and Tonga have their own. What do they want them to do? Samba? Rap? Break Dance? Hell No! At least they still value and remember who they really are and their origins. Do the Aussies have their own?...Probably ''Waltzing''

trouble with yahoo users is that they can't even write a sentence, you don't make any sense at all. but they'll never take away the haka, it's been a tradition for years. and who'd **** with the all blacks? their BACK LINE averages like 230 pounds.
