N.Z in particular can have a hard time with them. But some tours they run cold. The lions are always hard to beat. But do you really see the Aussies winning against the All Blacks?

George Smith was just a 'stayer'.
Never shone, or made an impact when the Wallys were winning, but stood out a bit when they kept losing with the new blood coming in. He was just 'there'. Thats all, and they had to give 'awards' to someone Grin

. That's how bad, OZ Union has become!
He's just a 'stayer', nothing more. Roll Eyes

BOERS & MAORIS are slowly CONQUERING this country. Grin

Over recent years, I've come under contact with many BOERS in the workplace and they are all in 'commanding' positions - be it management or trade. All earning top dollars. While Aussies work the pleb jobs and whinge ...like Wallys!

The Polynesians are the largest people in the world & since
rugby is a power game they do well in it.
Notice all the Aussie teams are buying them up.

The Aussies will be too scared to play after this one. I can't wait to see the Aussie teams faces in August. They will run away like rabbits:

So you're saying that the Aussies will not be intimidated by the Haka?

It is a war dance designed to scare opponents before battle.

The opposing teams look like they are thinking:

why am I here?
what will these savages do to me?
where is my rifle?

With that mindset, you probaby won't play for the Wallabies.

It's not as intimidating as you think. In fact, it's so passe nowadays, that they need to enlist the governing body to help them intimidate.

France's decision to link arms and advance on the All Blacks during their haka before the Rugby World Cup final on Sunday has cost them just under $4,000

Yes Sprint,

He has developed a reputation as a Kiwi slayer in his four years at Queensland, who have won 15 out of 19 Super Rugby matches against New Zealand teams.

That being said - I don't think the Aussies are in good form.

Good post,
actually it's not very sportsman like & should be banned.

I like the haka, and think a bit of pcyhological warfare is a good lead in to a bruising encounter. But you can't allow one team to opnely attempt intimidation, and make the other team bend over and take it.
