The Haka's are actually changed surprisingly often.......

"There was a change on 27 August 2006 at the House of Pain, Carisbrook in Dunedin, when the All Blacks came up with a new haka, the controversial Kapa o pango haka with its throat-slitting action which some felt was over the top. This haka was written by Ngati Porou's Derek Lardelli. It has not often been used. "

Yes, I preferred the one with the disemboweling and red-hot-sword-up-the-arse actions.

No I think it's quite entertaining. Doesn't seem to have any effect though

Good thinking. Hmm.

The Scots could do a Highland Fling, the Irish a Riverdance, the French and Italians could invent some sort of White Flag / Running Away dance... but what would the Welsh do?

Mime shagging some all black sheep?
ps. I am not racist

You laugh but the Morris dance would REALLY put the other team off. The Haka just makes you want to beat them even more.
