I love hockey, but one of the cool things about
other sports is the way they get hyped for a game.
Rugby is awesome, and this just adds to that atmosphere.
It is so cool...

I cant tell you how many times I've seen that, but its awesome every time. The Haka is a Mauri tribal war dance, as is the Tonga Sipi Tau.
I mean, how intimidating is that? Those guys like batshat insane. If I were in the lineup on the other team I'd be the first one putting my hand in the air:
"Hey coach, I think I pulled something, get me outta here."

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

I wouldn't expect anything less then a fake injury from a soccer player.

Did you watch those psychos? I played Rugby for years as a kid and have the scars and injuries and to prove it. NO way do I play against crazies like them.
It isnt faking, its self preservation.

Christ that thing is intense...I met a couple girls from NZ and the haka came up. Apparently it's really revered, and only guys are supposed to do it (that's what she said anyways). We got her to do maybe three seconds worth of it and then she wouldn't do any more.
You can put me in the camp of not ever wanting to deal with those guys.

Rugby Union - great sport, great supporters. I must try to get to a Mavericks game - I have really missed watching rugger since I came to Canada. Even though I am an England supporter at heart the All Blacks are the greatest team ever - very consistent.

Except in the WC, when they always fall after looking invincible.

The Mavs are playing this weekend. They played today and they play again on Monday.
