   Shortly after the All Blacks started doing the haka the ladies at my old bowls club (in England) performed one before a bowls match. Imagine old ladies in white below the knee pleated skirts, soup bowl bonnets acting like that. The visitors could hardly stop themselves laughing. The bowls community rarely mentioned it afterwards, such was the embarrassment.

   Old film clips of the AB’s doing the Haka from decades ago look feeble compared to what they do now.

   All the teams should be allowed to do a “challenge” before a match if one is. A Zulu war dance comes to mind.

     And that’s really the venue for such a thing, not the floor of the parliament, state house etc.

     I saw it suggested that in response the English rugby team could do a bit of Morris dancing. Bells tied to their ankles while prancing around waving hankies and sticks at one another. Oh, and don’t forget the one wearing black make-up.
