I am sure you are right.

Ever seen this?

Is that from a Monty Python sketch?!

Haka 1973 - YouTube

Yeah, I’ve actually posted that on here before (in the rarely frequented by all but 5 of us Rugby thread).

It’s brilliant. Amazing to think the haka was still revered when it was like that. Basically a dad dancing line up.

It is funny, but as we probably discussed at the time, it was about ceremony and tradition back then rather than being used as a psychological weapon

Lewis Gregory is highly regarded by all accounts although I've not seen much of him.

Did Stone go on the SL tour? I think he did but didn't feature or got injured; I forget. He's supposed to be quick so it would be nice if he got some game time and stayed fit.

NZ are notorious moaners and bleaters. No idea where this international image that they are nice guys comes from. They are arrogant as **** and suffer from major small country syndrome. You never hear the end of it and there's always one absurd reason or another why they lose in every sport. When things go their way, they seldom show humility. Their commentators are the worst.

They still kick up a fuss about 95 and 07 rugby World cups.

Sounds like SA you're describing apart from the nice guy image bit

[Harv]

I am sure you are right.

Rugby is their one saving grace. They absolutely suck at everything else. Nice people though.

[Shaggy]

They're pretty good at cricket tbf

[Buzzo]

Got further than the cheating Aussies in the WC didn't they?

And they are absolutely immense at Rugby.

Huge winning record, and also have a winning % against every team they have ever played.

Australia's sporting prowess in general seems to have gone to ****. Used to dominate in loads of sports and at the Olympics when I was younger. ****e now.
